Recently, graphene-based semiconductor photocatalysts have attracted more attention because of their enhanced photocatalytic activity caused by interfacial charge transfer (IFCT). However, the effect of a chemical bond is rarely involved for the IFCT. In this work, TiO2/graphene composites with a ch...
