Abstract

In this study, we reported a green, simple, and low-cost route for the preparation of multilayer graphene-ZnTiO3 nanocomposite with high yield at the one-step method. Ball milling assistance to anchored graphene with Zn and Ti salt at the one step, under solvent free condition at the shortest time. Facilities of synthesis without used any organic solvent during the synthesis and one step of synthesis hold great promise for potential applications in industrial as raw material. Beside of green, economic and short time of synthesized multi layer graphene have potential effect on band gap and change that the evidence of band gap showed the band gap decreased to 3.17 eV compared to ZnTiO3 eV. Facilitated of this method can be applied this product in electronic field. Several analyses investigated the nanocomposites such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR), field emission scanning electron micrographs (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and UV–visible absorption spectra for determining of the band gap.
