A greener approach towards the development of graphene-Ag loaded ZnO nanocomposites for acetone sensing applications.

ABSTRACT: We report a facile, green synthesis of graphene/Ag/ZnO nanocomposites and their use as acetone sensors via a medicinal plant extraction assisted precipitation process. The choice of plant extract in combination with metal nitrates led to self-sustaining colloid chemistry. Along with the green synthesis strategy, structural, morphological and gas sensing properties are described.
