Abstract
The rGO/TiO2 nanocomposite was synthesized using graphene oxide and butyl titanate as raw materials in a hydrothermal process. Various samples were produced by varying the duration of the hydrothermal treatment. X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy were used to examine the nucleation and growth processes of anatase in the hydrothermal process from the thermodynamics and kinetics perspectives. The structural evolution of titanium dioxide/reduced graphene oxide with hydrothermal time was analyzed. The crystallite size as well as the particle size of the TiO2, rGO and TiO2/rGO decreases with increase in the hydrothermal reaction time.
