Abstract

This paper presents the preparation of zinc oxide with titanium over the niobium oxide coated with graphene oxide and this new material has applications in the photocatalysis and energy storage of reduced graphene oxide layered zinc, titanium, and niobium oxide nanocomposite. The PXRD pattern confirms the unique physical and chemical characteristics of metal nanocomposites useful for catalysis. Recyclable nanocomposites are indeed helping a new era of research into future energy storage materials. To prove the important properties of such materials, researchers are always trying to find new ways to produce such polymer-based materials, but metal-based nanocomposites do show better and reusable materials and act as energy storage.

Keywords
