Reduced graphene oxide/ZnO nanohybrids: Metallic Zn powder induced one-step synthesis for enhanced photocurrent and photocatalytic response

- A one-spot, additives-free aqueous solution access to RGO/ZnO nanohybrids.
- Metallic Zn powder is a reducing agent of GO and a morphology controller of ZnO.
- Nanohybrids show enhanced photocurrent and photocatalytic response than pure ZnO.
- COZn bonds and electronic interactions form at interface of two components.
