In this work, ZnO/rGO nanocomposites (NCs) were synthesized through a low temperaturesol–gel method. Zinc oxide decorated on graphene sheets could provide surface enhance-ment and hinder the rapid recombination rate of electron hole pairs that occur during aphotocatalysis process. It has been observ...
