Abstract
In this paper, we present a technique for the effective fabrication of reduced graphene oxide with nanostructured zirconia (rGO/ZrO2) composites using a hydrothermal method. The objective this work was to provide simpler and efficient method for the synthesis of rGO/ZrO2 which highly required for industrial applications. Powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and UV-visible spectroscopy was used to characterize the obtained nano-hybrid structure materials. These techniques confirmed the presence of rGO and the uniform distribution of zirconia nanoparticles on graphene oxide sheets during synthesis. This has created new opportunities and prospects for the use of this simple and low-cost technique in the development of zirconia/graphene nanocomposite powders. © 2022 School of Engineering, Taylor's University.
