	abstract = {<p>The paper reports on a facile one-pot synthesis of a tri-component gold nanoparticle/molybdenum cluster/graphene oxide (AuNPs@Mo-GO) nanohybrid composite. The synthetic methodology consists on direct UV irradiation of an aqueous solution containing graphene oxide (GO), Na-2[Mo6Br8(N-3)(6)], HAuCl4 center dot 3H(2)O and isopropanol at room temperature in air using a UV fiber lamp. The composite material exhibits very high photocatalytic activity for the degradation of rhodamine B under visible light irradation. The resulting nanohybrid material was characterized using Raman spectroscopy, UV-vis spectrometry, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).
