A facile and green one-step synthesis of Ag/reduced graphene oxide and its application in catalysts and SERS.

ABSTRACT: Herein, we present a facile one-step approach for synthesizing Ag/reduced graphene oxide (Ag-rGO) through synchronous reduction and in situ coagulation of graphene oxide (GO) and silver nitrate (AgNO₃) under a nitrogen atmosphere. In this process, GO serves as the carrier and template, AgNO₃ as the precursor, and rutin functions both as the reducing and stabilizing agent. The Ag-rGO nanocomposite is synthesized using an eco-friendly method, where spherical silver nanoparticles are randomly dispersed on the surface of reduced graphene oxide (rGO). This nanocomposite exhibits excellent catalytic activity for degrading methylene blue (MB) and demonstrates good surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) activity as a SERS substrate. It was found that 3 mg Ag-rGO atta
