Abstract : Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris
The aim of this study was to fabricate zinc oxide (ZnO) and aluminium (Al) doped ZnO nanorods (NRs) nanowires (NWs) graphene oxide (GO) and reduced GO (rGO) for ultraviolet (UV)  photoconductive sensor and photocatalytic applications. The method used to synthesize GO was  electrochemical exfoliation assisted by custom- made triple-tails sodium 1, 4-bis  (neopentyloxy)-3-(neopentyloxycarbonyl)-1, 4- dioxobutane-2-silphonate (TC14) and commercially  available single-tail sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) surfactants. Then, to produce rGO the  exfoliated GO was reduced via reduction process by adding hydrazine hydrate. The ZnO and AlZnO NRs  and NWs were synthesized via sol-gel immersion method. The hybridized ZnO and AlZnO NRs and NWs  samples with SDS-GO, SDS-rGO, TC14-GO and TC14-rGO were done by spray coating method. The  ZnO/GO-based samples were characterized using scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive  X-ray, high resolution transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, micro-Raman, UV-visible  (UV- Vis)  spectroscopy and  four-point  probes  measurement.  The  UV  photocurrent measurement  system and UV-Vis spectroscopy were then used to analyse the UV photoconductive sensor and  photocatalytic performances respectively. The finding show that the highest sensitivity and  responsivity of UV photoconductive sensor at around 47.3 and 345.7 mA/W were observed in AlZnO  NWs/TC14-GO (24 hours) sample. Meanwhile 90 g of sand/ZnO NRs/TC14-GO with reaction time of 48  hours exhibited the highest photocatalytic efficiency of 100% removal of 5ppm of methylene blue  (MB). The improvement of both UV photoconductive sensor and photocatalytic performances were  believed due to the existence of GO that help to lower the recombination rate of electrons-holes by  trapping the electron within the GO sheets. In conclusion, the AlZnO NWs/TC14-GO (24 hours)  nanocomposites demonstrate a good material for UV photoconductive sensor application. The sand/ZnO  NRs/TC14-GO is a great potential material for photocatalytic application. The implication of this  study is a novel, green and economical approach for UV photoconductive sensor and photocatalytic  application by using AlZnO NWs/TC14- GO (24 hours) and sand/ZnO NRs/TC14-GO, respectively.
