Abstract

Graphene-based composite materials are versatile but not easily procurable. Cyanobacterial cells, an outgrowth of eutrophic freshwater lake, were simultaneously employed as a template for the growth of ZnO nanoparticles and as a biomass carbon source for graphene sheets, resulting in chlorophyll-containing graphene-wrapped ZnO nanospheres.
