UV-VIS studies on reduced graphene oxide silver nanocomposite

The integration of ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) reduced graphene oxide (rGO) with silver nanoparticles in a nanocomposite structure represents a compelling avenue for advancing materials with unique optical properties.The objective of this research endeavour was to develop a comprehensive synthesis method for the GO-Ag nanocomposite, analyse its optical behaviour, and characterise its structural and morphological attributes.For method, The GO-Ag nanocomposite was synthesised via microwave synthesis. Analytical methods such as UV-VIS spectroscopy , X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) were employed during the characterization phase to ascertain the chemical and structural characteristics of the GO-Ag nanocomposite that was synthesised.Using UV-VIS spectroscopy, the optical properties of the GO-Ag nanocomposite were also investigated in depth. The examination was centred on clarifying the manner in which the nanocomposite absorbed and transmitted light in the ultraviolet and visible regions, thereby offering valuable information regarding its optical properties.The synthesis of the GO-Ag nanocomposite was accomplished successfully, as indicated by the morphological and structural analyses, which disclosed the deposition of silver nanoparticles in a uniform dispersion on reduced graphene oxide. The optical properties of the nanocomposite were revealed through UV-VIS spectroscopic investigations, which demonstrated its absorption characteristics.The through examination conducted in this study enhances knowledge regarding the optical characteristics of graphene oxide-silver nanocomposites.
