Popis: | In this study, the iron oxide/silver (FexOy/Ag) nanocomposite has been successfully prepared by a facile one-step method using goethite (α-FeOOH) rods as support. The diameter of the as-synthesized goethite rods was between 250 and 500 nm and the silver nanoparticles sizes were about 10–50 nm. By varying the concentrations, the FexOy/Ag nanocomposite with different Ag contents are successfully obtained. The FexOy/Ag nanocomposite was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and energy dispersive spectroscopy, respectively. Due to the unique nanostructure, these nanocomposites can catalyze degradation of both aromatic nitro compounds and organic dyes only within a few minutes, which show high catalytic performance. |
