TiO2/N-graphene nanocomposites are synthesized via a facilein-situhydrothermal sol–gel strategy in order to improve the photocatalytic efficiency for pollutant photodegradation under visible light irradiation. The as-prepared nanocomposites are respectively characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and UV–vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. Results indicated that neat TiO2nanoparticles have an average diameter about 6.70 nm while TiO2nanoparticles in TiO2/N-graphene nanocomposites synthesized throughin-situhydrothermal sol–gel strategy bear an average diameter of ∼1 nm and are anchored onN-graphene nanosheets via chemical bonding. Both neat TiO2nanoparticles and chemically anchored TiO2nanoparticles in TiO2/N-graphene nanocomposites take on the crystal type of anatase. The band gap of TiO2/N-graphene nanocomposites is red-shifted compared with neat TiO2nanoparticles. The evaluation of photodegradation performance under visible light irradiation suggested that the nanocomposite with 5 wt%N-graphene content has the best visible light photodegradation performance.
