Synergistic effect of zinc oxide nanorods on the photocatalytic performance and the biological activity of graphene nano sheets

In this work, decoration of the graphene surface with 5 wt. % ZnO nanorods (ZnO NRs), to ensure the potential photocatalytic performance of the formed nanocomposites, is demonstrated. Graphene oxide (GO) was synthesized with Hummer method followed by reduction to give reduced graphene oxide (RGO). T...
