摘要: We report the fabrication of one-dimensional TiO2–graphene nanocomposite by a facile and one-step method electrospinning. The unique nanostructured composite showed significant enhancement in photovoltaic photocatalytic properties comparison to TiO2 as demonstrated dye-sensitized solar cells photodegradation methyl orange.
