Abstract EN
Ti3C2/TiO2/CuO nanocomposites were synthesized via the decomposition of a mixture of Ti3C2 (a novel two-dimensional carbide) and cupric nitrate under an argon atmosphere.
The morphology and structures of the obtained samples were characterized.
X-ray diffraction and energy dispersive spectrometer analysis indicate that the sample is composed of Ti3C2, anatase-TiO2, and CuO.
Scanning electron microscopy images show that CuO and TiO2 nanoparticles were evenly distributed on the surface of Ti3C2.
The particles size increased with an increase in the cupric nitrate content.
Photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange shows that the Ti3C2/TiO2/CuO nanocomposite has good photocatalytic degradation efficiency.
A possible photocatalytic mechanism of the Ti3C2/TiO2/CuO nanocomposites was proposed.
The data indicated that CuO and Ti3C2 effectively promote the separation of photoelectrons from vacancies.
