Abstract

A simple and effective route was employed to fabricate cadmium titanate nanofibers (CdTiO₃ NFs) immobilized into the reduced graphene oxide (RGO) sheets using electrospinning and calcination processes. Here, graphene oxide (GO) served as a supporting material for the deposition of CdTiO₃ precursor along with the scarifying polymer nanofibers and upon the thermal treatment, it led to the formation of CdTiO₃ NFs immobilized reduced graphene oxide (CdTiO₃/RGO) composite. The as-synthesized CdTiO₃/RGO composite was used for photocatalytic removal of methylene blue (MB) from the aqueous solution and revealed a remarkable enhancement in the photocatalytic activity as compared to the pristine CdTiO₃ NFs.
