▎ 摘　　要

Graphene oxide-silver nanocomposite (GO-Ag) was fabricated via the sonochemical method, which shows unique physiochemical properties. Graphene oxide (GO) and silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were synthesized by modified Hummer's and Chemical reduction methods, respectively. The synthesized nanocomposite was characterized using powder X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. The surface morphology of synthesized nanoparticles was studied using scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The thermoluminescence property the nanocomposite was analyzed by irradiating the samples in gamma radiation at 1 kGy. Electrochemical reversibility of the GO-Ag nanocomposite was examined by cyclic voltammetry. The photocatalytic application of the nanocomposite was studied using degradation of methylene blue dye. Results reveal that doping of AgNPs on the GO surface not only improves its dye degradation property but also enhances its thermoluminescence property. This knowledge will be helpful in determining the antibacterial property of the GO-Ag nanocomposite in the future.
