Graphene oxide and reduced graphene oxide supported ZnO nanochips for removal of basic dyes from the industrial effluents

Khadija Chaudhary et al.

Summary: The synthesis of highly active and cheap photo-catalyst materials consisting of ZnO nanochips assembled over graphene derivatives, ZnO@GO and ZnO@RGO, was investigated. Results showed that ZnO@RGO had higher efficiency with 2.4 and 2 times higher kinetic rates for RhB and MB removal, respectively, attributed to the partially restored conjugated structure of RGO leading to better charge migration across semiconductor-carbon heterojunctions. The active species involved in the degradation process were systematically investigated, and a photo-catalytic mechanism was proposed, demonstrating good recyclability and resistance to photo-corrosion for both ZnO@GO and ZnO@RGO even after 360 minutes of consecutive photo-catalytic activity.
