Abstract:Graphene oxide/Eu2O3 composite powders were prepared by hydrothermal synthesis with graphene oxide and Eu2O3 as raw materials. Light catalytic performance of the composite powder was tested with Rhodamine B solution as model pollutant under the irradiation of UV (ultraviolet) light. Results show that the composite powder has good photocatalytic activity on Rhodamine B solution with the increasing graphene content, and it only needs 60 minutes when degradation rate closes to 100%.
