Abstract

See full text

Methods of forming a diatom-based nanocomposite are provided. The methods include mixing at least one diatomic material, one or more metal precursors, and functionalized graphite oxide to form a mixture. The methods also include exfoliating the mixture in presence of hydrogen to reduce functionalized graphite oxide to graphene and reducing the one or more metal precursors to metal nanoparticles. The methods further include depositing the metal nanoparticles on the diatomic material to form the diatom-based nanocomposite.
