AB  - The reduction of graphene oxide (GO) with a large-scale production has been 
      demonstrated to be one of the key steps for the preparation of graphene-based 
      composite materials with various potential applications. Therefore, it is highly 
      required to develop a facile, green, and environmentally friendly route for the 
      effective reduction of GO. In this study, a new and effective reduced method of 
      GO nanosheets, based on the dye-sensitization-induced visible-light reduction 
      mechanism, was developed to prepare reduced GO (rGO) and graphene-based TiO2 
      composite in the absence of any additional reducing agents. It was found that the 
      dye-sensitization-induced reduction process of GO was accompanied with the 
      formation of TiO2-rGO composite nanostructure. The photocatalytic experimental 
      results indicated that the resultant TiO2-rGO nanocomposites exhibited 
      significantly higher photocatalytic performance than pure TiO2 because of a rapid 
      separation of photogenerated electrons and holes by the rGO cocatalyst.
