High-efficiency removal of rhodamine B dye in water using g-C3N4 and TiO2 co-hybridized 3D graphene aerogel composites

The graphitic carbon nitride-titanium dioxide-graphene aerogel (g-C3N4-TiO2-GA) composites were facilely assembled by a hydrothermal approach combined with freeze drying. The adsorptivity for rhodamine B (RhB, 20.0 mg L−1, 25 mL) within 1 h over 5.0 mg of the composites was as high as 96.5% in dark and could be up to 98.4% under visible light irradiation. Furthermore, the resulting composites also displayed satisfactory cyclic stability and the...
