▎ 摘  要

Graphene-based composites represent a new class of materials with potential for many applications. Graphene can be attached to a metal, a semiconductor, or any polymer. In this work, our approach was to attach graphene to a well-known semiconductor, ZnO. We synthesized graphene-ZnO composites by a simple, low-cost, environmentally friendly solvothermal method, carrying out the reaction in different conditions in order to discover the optimum condition, and also to obtain a high-quality product. Our research demonstrated that the optimum temperature to obtain a high-quality product is 180 A degrees C for 20 h. All obtained products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy, electron dispersion spectrometry, X-ray photoelectron spectrometry, Raman spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectrometry, UV-visible spectrophotometry, and thermogravimetric analysis. The XRD confirmed that the crystal structure of the ZnO in the nanocomposite was wurtzite type. The prepared composite was stable to 800 A degrees C with its 80 % weight.
