Abstract: Graphene/titania(GR/TiO2) composites were prepared by facile hydrothermal reaction with graphite powder and n-butyl titanate as raw materials.The composites were characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD) and scanning electron micro- scope(SEM).The influences of graphene content,lighting conditions,calcination temperature,lighting time,and pH etc.on photocatalytic degradation activities of GR/TiO2 to polyacrylamide(PAM) were evaluated.Results showed that TiO2 nanoparticles were dispersed on the surface of graphene sheets uniformly in the GR/TiO2 composites.When the GR mass fraction was 10%,the calcination temperature was 450 ℃,the photocatalytic time was 30 min,and pH was at 6~7,the UV photocatalytic degradation of GR/TiO2 to PAM could reach more than 96%.
