We synthesized zinc oxide-reduced graphene oxide (ZnO-rGO) composites using a one-pot chemical deposition method at room temperature. Zinc powder and graphene oxide (GO) of different mass ratios (1 : 1, 1 : 2, 1 : 5, 1 : 10, and 1 : 20 GO to Zn) were used as precursors in a mildly alkaline solution. UV-Vis spectroscopy was used to study the photocatalytic efficiency of the samples through the photodegradation of methylene blue (MB). UV-Vis measurements show the fast decomposition of methylene blue under UV light illumination with the best degradation efficiency of 97.7% within one hour, achieved with sample ZG2 (1 GO : 2 Zn mass ratio). The corresponding degradation rate was kZG2 = 0.1253 min−1, which is at least 5.5 times better than other existing works using hydrothermal methods. We argue that the excellent photodegradation of MB by ZG2 is due to the efficient charge separation brought about by the electronic interaction of the rGO with the ZnO and the formation of a Zn-O-C bond, as supported by XRD and Raman spectroscopy measurements.

In this study, a nanostructured zinc oxide/reduced graphene oxide (ZnO/rGO) composite was deposited on a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) as a toluene gas sensor at room temperature. A series of ZnO, rGO and ZnO/rGO sensing materials was fabricated and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and Raman spectroscopy. There was significant efficiency of the ZnO/rGO composite on the sensing performance for toluene. For specific gas fluxes, the nanostructured ZnO/rGO offered sufficient paths and region for vapor diffusion and adsorption. The sensing test results illustrated that the nanostructured ZnO/rGO composite showed significant enhancement in the frequency shifts (△f) for toluene comparing to pure ZnO and rGO. Also, the ZnO/rGO-coated QCM sensor displayed a fast response (both the response and recovery times < 30 s) and reproducibility for sensing toluene gas at room temperature. We believe that the novel insights on ambient temperature gas sensing on nanostructured ZnO/rGO composite could provide a new strategy for preparing a highly efficient sensing materials.
