Abstract

SiO2 is an excellent support material due to its flexible pore size and can be used as an adsorbent for the removal of toxic materials from water. Nanocrystalline TiO2-rGO is previously reported to show complete photodegradation for azo dyes. In pursuit of enhancing the adsorption capability of the system, we have incorporated SiO2 in TiO2-rGO nanocomposite which has drastically reduced the crystallinity of the matrix. Analysis of the bandgap variations is pursued here, which is crucial for enhanced light absorption and high performance photocatalysis.
