investigation the role of cu-mof/rgo in improvement of catalytic performance of ag3vo4

Promising strategy for solar energy alteration and solving environmental problems [1, 2]. along with other semiconductors, ag based photocatalysts have been attracted attention due to their great visible light response [3]. in present study, cu-based metal organic framework/rgo was used as an effective cocatalyst to synthesis novel ag3vo4/cu-mof/rgo nanocomposite. the resulting photocatalysts were characterized by different microscopic and spectroscopic methods. the photocatalytic degradation studies on acid blue 92 showed that ag3vo4/cu-mof/rgo nanocomposite indicated significant improved activity compared with pure ag3vo4 and cu-mof/rgo. the improved photocatalytic activity of nanocomposite was attributed to the increased surface area and effective charge carrier separation and transport in the nanocomposite.
