Abstract

Chemistry Chemistry, Multidisciplinary Physical Sciences Science & Technology
In this communication, we develop a facile, one-step strategy towards the rapid synthesis of ZnO nanoparticle-decorated reduced graphene oxide (rGO-ZnO) composites by directly immersing Zn plate in a GO solution containing ammonia with the aid of ultrasonication at room temperature. The rGO-ZnO composites obtained have applications in photocurrent generation in the visible spectral region of white light using zinc porphyrin (ZnP) as a photosensitizer.
