Graphene-ZnO nanocomposite for highly efficient photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange dye under solar light irradiation
A facile synthesis of graphene oxide-zinc oxide nanocomposite (GO-ZnO) was performed by using wet chemical method of graphene oxide and zinc acetate precursors. The nanocomposite was characterized and intercalated with Raman spectroscopy, FE-SEM, TEM, SAED and EDAX. The crystalline nature was studied from P-XRD, and surface area of the sample was analyzed by BET. The chemical composition was explained in the light of XPS phenomenon. The photo electron-excitation (PL) studies were conducted for understanding the photocatalytic mechanism, and photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange was studied by using UV-VIS spectrophotometer. We investigated the photocatalytic activity involving GO-ZnO nanocomposite besides checking the re-stability of the composite. Significant high-performance photocatalytic activity of GO-ZnO nanocomposite was exhibited on methyl orange degradation under solar light.
