This review paper investigates the photo induced CO₂ collection and conversion capability of ZnO/r-GO composites. Combining ZnO nanoparticles and reduced Graphene Oxide (r-GO) sheets improves Photocatalytic activity and adsorption capacity. Various synthesis processes are described, including hydrothermal synthesis and sol-gel approaches. The photo excitation process of ZnO is described, as well as the roles of ZnO and r-GO in CO₂ collection and conversion. Characterization methods such as XRD, SEM/TEM, FTIR, and XPS are discussed. Methods for assessing performance, such as Photocatalytic activity assessment and CO₂ capture capacity analysis, are addressed. The significance of ongoing research and development in this subject is stressed.
