Synthesis of reduced graphene oxide-silver nanohybrids: using monosaccharides as reducing agents at different time reaction / Faizatun Nabilah Nor Ismail

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were incorporated on the rGO sheets to create a reduced graphene oxide-silver (rGO-Ag) nanohybrid. This nanohybrid was created to improve the electrical conductivity of both materials, implying that it has several uses in diverse fields. This study demonstrated a simple...
