Abstract: Two-dimensional graphene with excellent theoretical electron mobility provides a theoretical foundation for the composite of graphene and fly ash geopolymer as well as the photo-generated electron transmission of semiconductor. The graphene fly-ash-based geopolymer composite was firstly synthesized and applied as photocatalyst for degradation of dye. XRD, FESEM, XPS and FT-IR results showed that the spherical fly ash particles reacted with alkali-activated agent to generate the graphene alkali-activated fly-ash-based geopolymer (GAFG) which was composed of Si-O-Si (Al) amorphous net structure, and the lamellate graphene was wrapped inside. The fact that the Co-10Fe2O3-GAFG sample displayed the highest photocatalytic activity for degradation of basic blue dye was ascribed to the synergistic effect of: the donor level of Fe2O3 semiconductor induced by Co2+ doping, the rapid photoelectron transfer from Fe2O3 semiconductor to graphene, and the oxidative degradation of dye molecules by hydroxyl radicals. The photocatalytic degradation reaction coincides with the second-order reaction kinetics.
