Enhanced Photocatalytic Activity of CuO Cabbage/RGO Nanocomposites under Visible Light Irradiation.

Towards the utilization of CuO nanomaterial for the degradation of industrial dye pollutants such as methylene blue and methyl orange, the graphene-incorporated CuO nanocomposites (GCC) were developed via a precipitation method. Using Hummers method, the grapheme oxide (GO) was initially synthesized. The varying weight percentages (1-4 wt %) of GO was incorporated along with the precipitation of CuO catalyst.
