Enhanced in tunning of photochemical and electrochemical responses of inorganic metal oxide nanoparticles via rGO frameworks (MO/rGO): A comprehensive review

The inorganic metal oxides and graphene in the form of nanocomposites have excellent potential application towards various practical usages. In this review, we have discussed recent research on MO-specific transition metal oxides (TMO) (e.g., Ti, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Y, Zr, Nb, Mo, Ru, Rh, Pd, W) and rare earth metal oxides (REMO) (e.g., La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Dy, Er, Yb) anchored on reduced graphene oxide (rGO) nanocomposites that are being developed for photochemical applications such as degradation of aqueous pollutants and electrochemical behaviour including supercapaciors, Li-ion energy storage, and sensing. Also, we have discussed some future nano MO/rGO composite materials.

Automated summary

This review discusses recent research on metal oxide (MO) nanocomposites anchored on reduced graphene oxide (rGO), with a focus on transition metal oxides (TMO) and rare earth metal oxides (REMO). The applications of these nanocomposites in photochemical processes and electrochemical behaviors are explored, with a discussion on future prospects.
