The synthesis of graphene oxide-coated mesoporous silica (MS_GO) with the template surfactant (Cetyltrimethylammonium Bromide) CTAB has been carried out. The effect of combining mesoporous silica and graphene oxide was studied by knowing the bonds, functional groups and crystalline structures. Functional groups C=O and C=C were formed at wave numbers 1,722, 1,617 and 1,647 cm−1, respectively, as a characteristic of GO compounds. XRD data showed that MS_GO has a more amorphous structure than graphite and GO due to the incorporation of silica onto the graphene oxide surface. The MS_GO synthesis was also applied as an adsorbent for methylene blue dye in water. The adsorption results showed that MS_GO was more effective than pure GO. The percent adorption efficiency (R %) of MS_GO against 10 ppm methylene blue was 93.1 % while that of pure GO was 91.5 %. The addition of mesoporous silica to graphene oxide makes MS_GO adsorbent more effective in adsorption dyes than pure GO, this is supported by the larger total surface area of BET MS_GO was 161.066 m2·g−1, while that of pure GO was 103.818 m2·g−1.
HIGHLIGHTS
- Preparation of graphene oxide from graphite by the modified hummer method
- Mesoporous silica is synthesized with Graphene Oxide (GO) and occupies between GO layers in the GO interlayer space
- CTAB is used as a template and forms pores in the synthesis of layered Mesoporous Silica-Graphene Oxide (MS_GO)
- Graphene Oxide-Coated Mesoporous Silica will be applied for adsorption of methylene blue dye in water.
- The adsorption efficiency (% R) of GO against methylene blue is lower than % R of MS_GO against methylene blue
