We have demonstrated a facile in situ wet chemical method to synthesize nanostructured nitrogen doped ZnO/Graphene (N-ZnO/GR) nanocomposites for the first time. Nitrogen doped ZnO over graphene (N-ZnO/GR) was studied using various concentrations of graphene. During the synthesis of N-ZnO/GR nanocomposites, in situ formation of graphene via GO reduction and formation of 4-9 nm N-ZnO have been demonstrated. The composite N-ZnO/GR absorbs in the visible region and this property is used for the photocatalytic reaction to transform hazardous H 2 S waste into eco-friendly hydrogen using solar light. The N-ZnO/GR nanocomposite with 0.3% graphene exhibits an enhanced photocatalytic stable hydrogen production rate i.e. $5072 mmol h À1 under visible light irradiation. It is noteworthy that the N-ZnO/GR electrode exhibits a high specific capacitance of 555 F g À1 and excellent cyclic performance with nearly 96.20% capacity retention after 2000 cycles at a current density of 10 A g À1 . These results indicate great potential applications of N-ZnO/GR in developing high hydrogen production and supercapacitors with high energy and power densities. † Electronic supplementary information (ESI) available: Raman spectrum of GO, XPS of GO, FTIR of samples GO, Z1, Z3, Z4, Z5 and Z6, FESEM of GO, undoped ZnO and N-ZnO, TEM of Z3, hydrogen evolution of the recycled Z4 sample, XRD of sample (Z4) aer three cycles of the photocatalytic study, Raman spectrum of sample Z4 aer three cycles of the photocatalytic study, and XPS of sample (Z4) aer three cycles of the photocatalytic study.
