Abstract In the present work, an attempt to synthesis of bimetallic copper zinc tungstate (CuZnWO4) nanoparticles with reduced graphene oxide (CuZnWO4/rGO) via one-step hydrothermal technique. The synthesized CuZnWO4/rGO composite are characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-DRS) and Photoluminescence (PL). The photocatalytic performance is examined by the degradation of methylene blue (MB) dye under visible-light irradiation. The MB dye isalmost 73 % degraded within 80 minutes. Further, the electrochemical performance of hybrid CuZnWO4–rGOcomposite showed the specific capacity (SC) of 480 Fg− 1 at 4 Ag− 1 in 6 M KOH electrolyte with excellent cyclabilityconserving a capacitance retention of 127% after 5000 cycles due to increase diffusion of electrolyte ions to the electrode materials. These results support that the hybrid CuZnWO4–rGO composite as an appropriate electrode material for high-performance SCs electrode and an auspicious catalyst for the degradation of dye (organic) contaminants in aqueous media.

Reduced graphene oxide is an excellent candidate for various electronic devices such as high performance gas sensors. In this work Graphene oxide was prepared by oxidizing graphite to form graphite oxide. From XRD analysis the peak around 11.5o confirmed that the oxygen was intercalated into graphite. By using hydrazine hydrate, the epoxy group in graphite oxide was reduced then the solution of reduced graphite oxide (rGO) is exfoliated. Raman spectrum of rGO contains both G band (1580 cm-1), D band (1350 cm-1). The remarkable structural changes reveals that reduction of graphene oxide from the values of ID/IG ratio that increase from 0.727 (GO) to 1.414 (rGO). The exfoliated reduced graphite oxide solution is spin coated on to the SiO2/Si substrates.
