In this study, the new mesoporous ternary ZrO2–GO–SiO2 composite was synthesized by self-assembly technique, and progressively analyzed through physical characteristic equipment, by use of XRD, SEM, TEM, Raman, XPS, DRS, BET, and PL techniques. The TEM images showed the mesoporous structured semicon...
