摘要： The emerging concept of two dimensional (2D) hybrid materials with large surface area and good interfacial contacts is highly desirable for diverse catalytic applications. Herein, we have designed and developed novel 1D-2D nanocomposite by loading manganese dioxide (MnO2) nanorods over reduced graphene oxide (RGO) nanosheets by facile hydrothermal synthesis method to exploit the large surface area, close contact of 1D-2D components with abundant reaction sites. The as prepared MnO2-RGO nanocomposite has been characterized in detail using state-of-art techniques and has been successfully utilized efficient adsorptive photocatalysts for the removal of a colored dye (neutral red) and a colorless pollutant (ciprofloxacin) from water. In addition, the stability and recyclability of this catalyst has also been demonstrated. This work is expected to pave way for the development of many new 1D-2D binary nanocomposite catalysts for environmental remediation applications.
