Here we used a hydrothermal process and calcination in the absence of O2 to obtain a highly efficient chemically bonded graphene-TiO2 nanocomposite photocatalyst utilizing graphene oxide and tetra-n-butyl titanate as precursors. The nanocomposite photocatalyst could inhibit the recombination of phot...
