Preparation and Characterization of Nanosized Bi-Doped SnO₂/Reduced Graphene Oxide 3D Hybrids for Visible-Light-Driven Photocatalysis.

The nanosized Bi-doped SnO2/reduced graphene oxide 3D hybrids have been synthesized via one-step hydrothermal method. The structures, morphologies, photocatalytic activities of the as-prepared samples were discussed, respectively. The formation mechanism of the as-prepared hybrids was also proposed.

Preparation of Reduced-Graphene Nanoribbons via One-Step Solvothermal Process.

Carbon nanotubes were unzipped to become reduced-graphene nanoribbons via one-step solvothermal process in a Teflon-lined autoclave. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, thermo-gravimetric analysis and transmission electrical microscopy, respectively. Results showed that the solvothermal reaction temperature played an important role in the structure of the samples.
