Graphene possesses excellent conductivity, adsorptivity, and controllability. The combination of photocatalysts and graphene will introduce these properties of graphene into photocatalysis. In this paper, graphene oxide-Bi 2 WO 6 composite was firstly prepared via in situ hydrothermal reaction in th...
