Green approach to the preparation of reduced graphene oxide for photocatalytic and supercapacitor application

In this method, green synthesis of reduced Graphene Oxide (rGO) using strawberry extract was capping and reducing agent to form rGO. The prepared rGO was analyzed by XRD, DRS-UV-vis spectroscopy, FT-Raman, SEM, HR-TEM, cyclic voltammetry and photodecomposition of cipro-floxacin (CIP). The cyclic voltammetry performance reveals the significant improvement in the specific capacitance value of 236 Fg(-1) at a current density of 1 Ag-1. The prepared rGO catalysts were performed for the photodecomposition of the CIP at 70.8% under UV-light irradiation in 90 min.
