One-Pot Solid-State Reaction Approach to Synthesize Ag-Cu2O/GO Ternary Nanocomposites with Enhanced Visible-Light-Responsive Photocatalytic Activity

One-Pot Solid-State Reaction Approach to Synthesize Ag-Cu2O/GO Ternary Nanocomposites with Enhanced Visible-Light-Responsive Photocatalytic Activity

A facile ball milling-assisted solid-state reaction method was developed to synthesize Ag-Cu2O/graphene oxide (GO) nanocomposites. In the resultant complex heterostructures, Ag nanocrystals were mainly deposited on the surface of Cu2O, while Ag-Cu2O composites were anchored onto GO sheets. The resul...
