在碱性条件下由氧化石墨(GO)还原获得还原石墨烯(RGO).RGO与4-二苯胺基苯甲醇(TPACH2OH)混合后发生相互作用,得到功能化石墨烯复合物(TPACH2OH-RGO).采用密度泛函理论(DFT)对TPACH2OH-RGO模拟计算结果表明,TPACH2OH和RGO之间主要通过氢键作用形成复合物.利用紫外-可见光谱(UV-vis)、拉曼光谱(Raman)、荧光光谱(Fluorescence)、原子力显微镜(AFM)、透射电子显微镜(TEM)和电化学等方法研究了TPACH2OH-RGO结构和光电性质,并研究了以TPACH2OH-RGO为催化剂在光照射下光催化分解水制氢性能.实验结果表明:光照下复合物中激发态TPACH2OH向RGO转移电子.在TPACH2OH和RGO的质量比为4/3,体系pH=6条件下,光照6 h,TPACH2OH-RGO的产氢总量达到35.0μmol,比RGO的产氢总量(20.4μmol)有明显的提高.
The reduced graphene oxide(RGO) was prepared by the reduction of graphite oxide(GO) under alkaline conditions.4-(N,N-Diphenylamine) benzyl alcohol functionalized graphene(TPACH2OH-RGO) were formed by stirring the mixture of TPACH2OH and RGO at room temperature.Density functional method(DFT) studies show that hydrogen bond is present between TPACH2OH and RGO in TPACH2OH-RGO.The structure and photoelectric properties of TPACH2OH-RGO conjugate were investi-gated by using ultraviolet-visible spectra(UV-vis),Raman spectra(Raman),fluorescence spectra(Fl),atomic force microscopy(AFM),transmission electron microscopy(TEM) and electrochemical method.The TPACH2OH-RGO conjugate was employed as a photocatalyst for H2 generation from water under ultraviolet-visible light illumination.The experiment results indicated that electron transfer occurred from the excited-state of TPACH2OH to RGO.When the mass ratio of TPACH2OH to RGO is 4/3,the total amount of H2 evolved from the TPACH2OH-RGO system at pH 6 after 6 h irradiation was 35.0 μmol,which is higher than that produced from the RGO(20.4 μmol).
