Insight into the 4-nitrophenol reduction, supercapacitive behavior, and antimicrobial activity of ZnCoO-rGO nanocomposite fabricated by the simple reflux method.

In this article, binary oxide ZnCoO nanoparticles (NPs) have been developed on reduced graphene oxide surface by simple reflux condensation method. The physicochemical characteristics of the synthesized nanocomposite were computed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and UV-Visible spectroscopy. The average size of ZnCoO NPs is found to be about 9 nm.
