	Nature is a perfect laboratory for creating novel nanomaterials for a variety of applications. A robust green synthesis approach to GO-loaded Ag/ZnO nanocomposite materials using medicinal plant extraction and their potential application in methyl orange dye degradation are reported. The straightforward technique employs zinc and silver nitrate precursors in an aqueous solution of medicinal plant extract, causing the precipitation process. Prior to photocatalytic investigations, the physico-chemical properties of the material are analysed using TG-DTA, XRD, FE-SEM, TEM, EDAX and BET. The developed material showcase hexagonal wurtzite structure of ZnO, with face-centered-cubic phase of Ag and AgCl. All the samples exhibit aggregated, irregular rounded grains, as expected in the precipitation synthesis process. Pristine ZnO showed 15.5\% degradation efficiency towards methyl orange, which was further improved by doping Ag from 0.5 to 2 mol\%. The catalyst with 1 mol\% Ag doping resulted in the better photocatalytic activity (26.30\%), which has again improved by loading the GO (27.46\%). The outcome of this study provides the new insights to GO-loaded Ag/ZnO nanocomposites by green synthesis route, in view of photocatalytic applications.</p>

	In this study, we report a straightforward method for synthesizing semi-cubical nanostructures of tungsten trioxide (WO3) loaded with reduced graphene oxide (rGO) via a hydrothermal approach. Furthermore, the systematic investigations were made towards the improved gas sensing capabilities of these nanostructures for acetone. The use of semi-cubical rGO/WO3 nanostructures demonstrate the provision of efficient gas diffusion routes via a meticulously arranged mesoporous framework. Hence, it leads to a significant improvement in the sensing response towards acetone. The analysis of the sensing capabilities demonstrates that the response of the sensor is influenced by variations in operating temperature and gas concentration. It is seen that the inclusion of rGO not only enhances the sensing response but also gives quick response and recovery, which are measured to be 12 and 33 s, respectively. The WO3 sensor loaded with 0.1 wt\% rGO demonstrates a discerning reaction to acetone, exhibiting a high response of 93.60\% than that of the unmodified WO3 sensor (76.30\%). The gas sensing properties are explained through the role of rGO and the structural and morphological properties of the developed nanostructures.</p>
