One-pot green synthesis of highly reduced graphene oxide decorated with silver nanoparticles

A one-pot green sonochemical process assisted by ascorbic acid as the reducing agent to produce highly reduced graphene oxide (rGO) decorated with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) is demonstrated. A complete removal of oxygen-containing group in the GO sheets was confirmed by no observation of the peak...
