Fabrication of nano Fe0-decorated graphene nanoplates composite and their application for the degradation of industrial dyes
Abstract
In this study, nano Fe was successfully decorated on the graphene nanoplates by a simple approach of reduction. The resultant samples were characterized by SEM and XRD. The obtained Fe paricles with an average size of 30 nm was well-distributed on the surface of the graphene nanoplates. The prepared samples showed high removal perforamce toward Rhodamine B dye. The effect of the graphene loadings on the RhB removal efficiency were also evaluated.
