    Abstract:
    A S-N co-doped CoFe2O4@rGO@TiO2 (CFGT-S/N) nanocomposite was successfully synthesized via a facile vapor-thermal method. XRD, XPS, FT-IR and FETEM results confirmed that N and S were co-doped into the lattice of TiO2. Photocatalytic tests indicated that CFGT-S/N exhibited excellent UV-Vis photocatalytic activity for decompositions of different organic dyes, including methyl orange (MO), rhodamine B (RhB) and methylene blue (MB). Particularly, the photocatalytic degradation rate of MO was about 33% higher than that when using P25 under visible light irradiation. The higher UV-Vis light photocatalytic activity of CFGT-S/N can be attributed to the synergetic effects of the strong absorption of visible light, the narrow band gap, improved separation of photo-generated electron/hole pairs, and the enhancement of the enrichment of pollutant dye molecules by S, N co-doping, CoFe2O4 and rGO. Moreover, this photocatalyst was superparamagnetic, which enables it to be easily recovered by an external magnetic field, and maintained stable photocatalytic efficiency over five cycles. Hence, CFGT-S/N with its highly efficient, recoverable and stable photocatalytic properties shows great potential for environmental treatment.
