Understanding the adsorptive and photoactivity properties of Ag-graphene oxide nanocomposites

Nanocomposites of graphene oxide (GO) and silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were synthesized using a practical photochemical silver functionalization. Their photocatalytic decomposition rates are governed by their large adsorption capacity, and the strong interaction with dye model contaminants such as Rhodamine B and Indigo Carmine.
