The reduced graphene oxide (rGO) incorporated ZnO thin films were fabricated by dip-coating method. The Raman and FT-IR spectra of 0.075 wt% incorporated composite film showed reduction of GO in composite film. The transmittance Prod. Type: FTP spectra have shown that rGO incorporation increase the visible light absorption of ZnO thin film while the calculated band gaps of samples were decreased from 3.28 to 3.25 eV by increasing the rGO content. The linear trend of I-V curve suggests an ohmic contact between ZnO and rGO. Besides, it was found that by increasing the rGO content, the electrical resistivity was decreased from 4.32 x 10(2) Omega cm for pure ZnO film to 2.4 x 10(1) Omega cm for 0.225 wt% rGO incorporated composite film. The composite photodetectors not only possessed a desirable UV photosensitivity, but also the response time of optimum sample containing 0.075 wt% rGO was reduced to about one-half of pure ZnO thin film. Also, the calculated signal to noise (SNR) showed that highly conductive rGO in composite thin films facilitate the carrier transportation by removing the trapping centers. The mechanism of photoresponsivity improvement of composite thin films was proposed by carrier transportation process. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
