The present work provides a selective review of research activities that focus on the graphene oxide (GO) and zinc oxide (ZnO) hybrid nanomaterials and their physical characterizations. The graphene oxide nanoparticle was prepared by modified Hummer’s method and the nanohybrids of GO/ZnO prepared by chemical method. Nanohybrids were characterized by thermogravimetric analyzer to find the thermal stability of the hybrid material, the structural nature and crystal size by P-XRD, functional group identification and surface morphology by using FTIR & SEM technique. This method provides a facile method to synthesize the nanohybrid and will be freely extended to do the research on other class of hybrids based of graphene oxide.
