▎ 摘　　要

Graphene oxide (GO)-ZnO nanocomposite films were synthesized on Fluorine doped Tin Oxide (FTO) coated glasses by electrochemical codeposition. The films have a laminated architecture with GO and ZnO alternate layers arranged basically parallel to the substrate. The structures of the composites were characterized using XRD, FE-SEM, FT-IR, XPS, Raman, UV-visible, and electrochemical cyclic voltammetry analyses. The results showed that by increasing Zn:C ratio of the suspensions, there is a series of structural evolutions of the composites, and the percentages of the C-O bonds of GO in the composites decreased. The decreased C-O bonds of GO indicate an increase in the reduction degree of GO, with which its energy gap varies from 1.99 eV to 0.89 eV. Moreover, the energy levels of GO and ZnO in the composites were determined. The results of photoelectrochemical measurements of the films indicated the feasibility of using GO in photoelectric conversion as photoabsorbers. A preliminary study on the relationship between the changes in the photocurrent and the structure of the films has provided clues for further studies on improving the photoelectric conversion properties.
