▎ 摘  要

We report herein, a one-pot synthetic route for the synthesis of reduced graphene oxide decorated Ag/ZnO nanocomposite and studied its catalytic activity as simple, recyclable and efficient catalyst for one-pot conversion of nitrobenzene to azoxybenzene. It was observed that 5-10 nm Ag-nanoparticles supported on 40-60 nm ZnO nanorod decorated on reduced graphene oxide was formed with a silver loading of 1.6 wt%. The effect of different reaction parameters were investigated and studied in detail. A nitrobenzene conversion of 96% with 98% selectivity of azoxybenzene was achieved without the use of any external additives.
