Abstract: Highlights: [•] Pt–graphene/TiO2 nanocomposites were synthesized by MAS method. [•] Pt–graphene/TiO2 nanocomposites were used for the degradation of organic Dye under UV/Visible light. [•] Enhanced photocatalytic activity was observed for Pt–graphene/TiO2 nanocomposites. [•] Red shift observed having band gap of 1.8eV in the nanocomposite from (DRS) analysis.
