ZnO–reduced graphene oxide (RGO) composites are successfully synthesized via UV-assisted photocatalytic reduction of graphite oxide by ZnO nanoparticles in ethanol. Their morphology, structure and photocatalytic performance in reduction of Cr(VI) are characterized by scanning electron microscopy, tr...
