A facile synthesis of nanorods of ZnO/graphene oxide composites with enhanced photocatalytic activity

Fabrication of ZnO/graphene flake-like photocatalyst with enhanced photoreactivity

“…A c c e p t e d M a n u s c r i p t 6 irradiation, the suspensions were sonicated first for 5 min, and then were shaken overnight in the dark to established the adsorption-desorption equilibrium. At given intervals of irradiation, small aliquots were withdrawn by a syringe, and filtered through a membrane (pore size 0.22 μm).…”

“…It has also been reported that the photocatalytic activity and stability of ZnO decreased dramatically because of photocorrosion effects during light irradiation. Therefore, to enhance the photocatalytic activity, it is of great importance to prevent the recombination of photo-generated electron-hole pairs of ZnO [4][5][6]. Recently, carbon materials have been widely used as ideal electron pathways due to their good conductivity.…”

Solvothermal fabrication and enhanced visible light photocatalytic activity of Cu2O-reduced graphene oxide composite microspheres for photodegradation of Rhodamine B

“…Graphene oxide is a two-dimensional honeycomb structure with a single layer of sp 2 carbon network [20][21][22][23][24][25]. Due to its extremely high theoretical specific surface area and excellent electron transport property, graphene oxide has attracted a lot of attention since discovery in 2004 [26][27][28][29].…”

A ZnO decorated chitosan–graphene oxide nanocomposite shows significantly enhanced antimicrobial activity with ROS generation

“…to the stacking of the GO layers) disappeared when the ZnO nanoparticles were formed on GO layer 35. This phenomenon is due to the anchoring of ZnO nanoparticles on the surface of the GO sheets prevents the stacking of the GO layers 35. XRD Pattern of GO@Cs/ZnO nancomposite exhibited Peak at 2θ= 14.5°, 59° and a broad peak above 20°…”
