Dye Degradation and Sulfur Oxidation of Methyl Orange and Thiophenol via Newly Designed Nanocomposite GQDs/NiSe ‐NiO Photocatalyst Under Homemade LED Light

AbstractPhotocatalytic processes triggered by graphene-based photocatalysts under solar light have sparked interest as a new sort of instrument for solar chemical synthesis. Herein we investigated self-assembled graphene quantum dots (GQDs)/NiSe-NiO composite photocatalyst for organic transformation as well as dye degradation. The synthesized GQDs/NiSe-NiO composite photocatalyst has an excellent suitable band gap, high molar extinction coefficient, low toxicity, and chemical/thermal stability. The GQDs/NiSe-NiO composite photocatalyst emerges as a new standard for sulfur oxidation and dye degradation reactions under homemade LED light with high yield.
