In this paper, we present a study on enhanced photocatalytic performance of TiO2 nanospheres deposited on graphene (n-TiO2-G) in a process of coumarin oxidation. The enhancement of the photoactivity has been observed in respect to commercial TiO2 P25. The presented material was prepared in two steps: (i) hydrolysis of titanium (IV) butoxide (TBT) in ethanol solution with simultaneous deposition on graphene oxide (GO) and (ii) calcination of TiO2-GO to form anatase-TiO2 and reduce GO to graphene. The nanomaterial was characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Fourier-Transformed Infrared spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy. In the presented photocatalytic process the fluorescence was used to detect-OH formed on a photo-illuminated n-TiO2-G surface using coumarin which readily reacted with -OH to produce highly fluorescent 7-hydroxycoumarin.
