The synthesis of solar-light-responsive zinc telluride (ZnTe) nanoparticles and their composite with reduced graphene oxide (rGO–ZnTe) via a simple hydrothermal reaction is reported. The synthesized nanostructures were comprehensively characterized by a combination of X-ray diffraction and photoelectron spectroscopy, electron microscopy, UV–vis spectroscopy, photoluminescence spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis. The effects of graphene oxide on the crystallinity, microstructure, photo-excitation, light absorption, surface area and thermal stability of ZnTe were studied. The current–voltage ( I – V ) characteristics for both as-synthesized ZnTe and rGO–ZnTe composite-based Schottky devices were measured to estimate the charge transport parameters such as dc conductivity, photosensitivity, carrier’s mobility and lifetime. The photocatalytic performance of both the materials in the degradation of an azo dye (Rhodamine B) was subsequently investigated using simulated solar light. The rGO–ZnTe composite exhibited a higher photocatalytic activity (66%) as compared to the as-synthesized ZnTe (23%), essentially due to the synergy between rGO sheets and ZnTe nanoparticles. The role of the carrier’s mobility in the transportation of photo-induced charges (electrons and holes) through the complex network of the composite materials and thus facilitating the photo-degradation process is explained. In the end, the responsible reactive species for the decomposition of Rhodamine B was also interpreted.

“…Environmental pollution has always been a coexisting problem with human development (Rasheed, 2022). Dyes, persistent organic pollutants, and antibiotics are all powerful environmental killers (Cheng et al, 2022;He et al, 2022;Li et al, 2022). The degradation of these pollutants has become a necessary means to protect the environment.…”

ZnO (ZO), Fe2O3 (FO), and graphene oxide (GO)/ZO/FO/ZnFe2O4 (ZFO) composite photocatalysts have been synthesized successfully via a simple sol–gel method and low-temperature technology. The phase structure and microstructural analysis confirmed that the GO/ZO/FO/ZFO magnetic separation photocatalyst is composed of GO, hexagonal ZnO, rhombohedral Fe2O3, and spinel ZnFe2O4 without any other impurities. The GO/ZO/FO/ZFO composite photocatalysts have a high visible light optical absorption coefficient and photocatalytic activity for degrading dyes, refractory pollutants, and antibiotics. The degradation percentages of methyl orange, tetrabromobisphenol A, and oxytetracycline hydrochloride by the GO/ZO/FO/ZFO magnetic separation photocatalyst were 98% for 180 min, 99% for 150 min, and 85% for 180 min, respectively. The special synthesis path leads to the formation of a special heterojunction between GO, ZnO, Fe2O3, and ZnFe2O4, which does not change the optical band gap value of the main lattice Fe2O3, and enhances the surface defects of the GO/ZO/FO/ZFO magnetic separation photocatalyst, resulting in high charge carrier transfer and separation efficiency of the catalyst and then enhanced the photocatalytic activity of the GO/ZO/FO/ZFO magnetic separation photocatalyst.
