Fabrication, structural analysis, and bioactivity assessment of a novel reduced graphene oxide reinforced ternary metal oxide (rGO-ZnO-SnO₂-Fe₂O₃) nanocomposite.

ABSTRACT: The goal of the current research was to prepare an effective hybrid material, which was expected to counter antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains and stabilize generated free radicals. For this purpose, ZnO-SnO₂-Fe₂O₃ (ZSF) and rGO-ZnO-SnO₂-Fe₂O₃ (rGO-ZSF) nanocomposites were synthesized and were calcined at 450 °C. Initially, GO was synthesized via a modified Hummers' method from commercially available graphite flakes and a chemical precipitation method was used to synthesize ZSF and rGO-ZSF nanocomposites. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy was conducted to analyze the chemical compositions of all synthesized samples. Morphological examinations were made via scanning electron microscopy, where the metal
