Popis: rGO/SiO2 composite coating was successfully prepared by plasma electrolyte oxidation (PEO) process on monocrystalline silicon (mc-Si) substrate. Investigating the effect of rGO incorporation into the SiO2 coating revealed that the addition of rGO leads to a significant increase in the photo-trapping ability due to the high specific surface area and excellent electron transfer efficiency. The PL intensity of the composite sample was found to decrease, which signified the suspension of the electron-hole pairs’ recombination. As a result, the photocurrent gain of the composite coating enhanced about 5.5 times. Likewise, the time-response switching featured an over two-fold increase for the rGO/SiO2 coating, impressively.
