Green fabrication of reduced graphene oxide decorated with Ag nanoparticles (rGO/Ag NPs) nanocomposite: A reusable catalyst for the degradation of environmental pollutants in aqueous medium

In this current work, a bio-inspired green approach has been followed to synthesize Ag nanoparticles (NPs), which were immobilized over reduced graphene oxide (rGO) as a suitable support. In the stepwise preparation of the bionanocomposite (rGO/Ag NPs) by using Menthapulegium flower extract, initially graphene oxide (GO) was reduced to rGO followed by in situ reduction of Ag+ ions to Ag NPs. In these reductions, different biomolecules such as,...
