In present study a facile single step methodology for synthesising SnO2-rGO nanohybrid by extracting metal ions from the tin chloride precursor, leading to the formation of SnO2 nanoparticles is reported. The structure formed via this method was characterized using X-ray diffractrometry (XRD), UV-visible spectroscopy, Fourier transformed infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) .Surface morphology displayed the SnO2 nanoparticles densely loaded in between the graphene sheets. The nanohybrid was found responsive towards the incident UV light. This approach can lead to the development of flexible light detectors having quick response.
