Abstract

In this study novel material PbS-graphene/$TiO_2$ composites were prepared by sol-gel method. The "as- prepared" composites were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with an energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectra (DRS) and Raman spectroscopic analysis. The photocatalytic activities were investigated by the degradation of methylene blue (MB) as a standard dye. We observed that coupling of PbS with $TiO_2$ extends the photoresponse to visible region. This revealed that the excellent photoinduced charge separation abilities and transport properties of graphene make these hybrids as potential candidates for developing high-performance next-generation devices.
