PREPARATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF CO3O4-RGO NANOCOMPOSITE BY HYDROTHERMAL ROUTE

In This study, we have Presented a facile one-step hydrothermal Method for the synthesis of Co3O4-rGO hybrids. The Co3O4 the nanocomposite was Characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy (SEM), powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Results show that the Co3O4-rGO catalysts have GO sheets decorated homogenously with well-dispersed Co3O4 nanoparticles. The average size of particles was measured as 19 nm. The results demonstrate that the cubic Co3O4 with high purity and homogenous size are supports onto the reduced graphene oxide sheets
