Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanostructures, both undoped and Co-doped, were synthesized through the solution combustion process. The diffraction patterns from powder XRD revealed that the materials were crystalline. The morphology of the spherically formed nanoparticles was visualized in SEM micrographs.

In this work, reduced graphene oxide-nickel (RGO-Ni) nanocomposite is synthesized. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and SEM-EDS (Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy) are used to study the crystalline nature, morphology and elemental composition of the RGO-Ni nanocomposite, respectively. As synthesized RGO-Ni nanocomposite is used to develop selective adsorptive removal of Rhodamine B (RhB) dye from the aqueous solution.

FeO@catechol formaldehyde resin coated @Graphene Oxide nanocomposite (FeO@CFR@GO) and FeO@catechol formaldehyde resin coated @TiO (FeO@CFR@TiO) nanocomposite were fabricated by hydrothermal method. Particularly, catechol bunches on the highest layer of nanospheres to play a mussel-inspired chemistry to assist combined with graphene oxide (GO) to wrap the FeO@ coated nanosphere. The prepared catalyst was proven to be very efficient with less than a minute and vey less dosage (15-17 mg) in the adsorptive degradation of Evans blue dye.
