Abstract

A facile microwave-assisted reaction was used to synthesize graphene oxide with cerium oxide nanoparticles (GO-CeO2 NPs) from water extracts of Moringa oleifera flower. The one step microwave synthesis treatment was used for reduction of ceria atom to cerium oxide nanoparticles along with the reduction of graphene oxide. The synthesized GO-CeO2 NPs were analysed by various analytical instrumentation techniques and we found the size of nanoparticles as 50 nm with a spherical shape. Further, the green synthesized GO-CeO2 NPs were employed as a catalyst to reduce 4-nitrophenol and achieved a degradation rate of 95.45%.
