biostudies-literatureUnknown7(30)Das DThe synthesis of solar-light-responsive zinc telluride (ZnTe) nanoparticles and their composite with reduced graphene oxide (rGO-ZnTe) via a simple hydrothermal reaction is reported. The synthesized nanostructures were comprehensively characterized by a combination of X-ray diffraction and photoelectron spectroscopy, electron microscopy, UV-vis spectroscopy, photoluminescence spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis. The effects of graphene oxide on the crystallinity, microstructure, photo-excitation, light absorption, surface area and thermal stability of ZnTe were studied. The current-voltage (<i>I</i>-<i>V</i>) characteristics for both as-synthesized ZnTe and rGO-ZnTe composite-based Schottky devices were measured to estimate the charge transport parameters such as dc conductivity, pACS omega26483-26494https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC9352213biostudies-literatureEffect of Higher Carrier Mobility of the Reduced Graphene Oxide-Zinc Telluride Nanocomposite on Efficient Charge Transfer Facility and the Photodecomposition of Rhodamine B.PMC9352213Sahu PDas DSil SRay PPDas MfalseEffect of Higher Carrier Mobility of the Reduced Graphene Oxide-Zinc Telluride Nanocomposite on Efficient Charge Transfer Facility and the Photodecomposition of Rhodamine B.The synthesis of solar-light-responsive zinc telluride (ZnTe) nanoparticles and their composite with reduced graphene oxide (rGO-ZnTe) via a simple hydrothermal reaction is reported.
