Abstract

A series of neodymiumdoped titanium dioxide Nd–TiO2 decorated on graphene oxide GO were synthesized by sol–gel method The structures morphologies and optical properties of the nanocomposites Nd–TiO2–GO were characterized by Xray diffraction scanning electron microscopy transmission electron microscopy Raman spectroscopy Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy The photocatalytic study of Nd–TiO2–GO nanocomposites was evaluated via the degradation of indigo carmine under simulated solar light Results demonstrated that the photodegradation efficiency of indigo carmine solutions irradiated by solar simulated light for 3 h with the nanocomposites used as a catalyst reached a level of 92  06  Nd This high photocatalytic degradation of indigo carmine solutions by the Nd–TiO2–GO nanocomposites is ascribed to the spherical nanocrystalline size of TiO2The authors are extremely grateful to Faculty of science University of Johannesburg South Africa the National Research Fund TTK14052167682 of South Africa Centre for Nanoscience and Research for financial support Authors are thankful to Mr A Sacko Department of Applied Chemistry University of Johannesburg for his help during the characterization of the materials The authors SKS and ESA also acknowledge financial support from Global Excellence and Stature fellowship from the University of Johannesburg
