Recently the decoration of graphene with metallic nanoparticles by a synchronized reduction of graphene oxide (GO) and synthesis of metallic nanoparticles has gained momentum. Metal-decorated carbon substrates, for example, carbon nanotubes and graphene oxide have been of interest to the scientific group all through the past three decades on account of different potential applications. The utilization of graphene oxide as the nano scale substrates for the formation of nanocomposites with metal oxides is a novel thought to acquire a hybrid which would show both the properties of GO as an interesting paper-shape material and the elements of single nanosized metal particles.
Graphene is a carbon allotrope of sp2 hybridized carbon atoms in a honeycomb lattice. It has attracted unique properties and potential applications. It has been synthesized and modified through various methods, and composites have been made with other nanomaterials, such as metals, metal oxides, and some complex oxides.
Grapheme-metal oxide composites are gaining attention as a viable alternative to boost the efficiency of various catalytic, storage reactions in energy conversion, anticancer and drug delivery applications. Nevertheless, by combining the superior physical/chemical properties of GO themselves and the versatile nanomaterials that can decorate with GO, GO based materials have a bright future in the anticancer, drug delivery, energy, and environmental applications.
This review article has described the recent publications in the development of Decoration of Graphene Oxide such as metals, metal oxides and their nanocomposites based materials. We anticipate this active field will continue growing rapidly, leading eventually to a variety of mature materials and devices that would benefit the society. Finally, the applications of composites are at their initial stages. They need to be studied systematically from both theoretical and experimental aspects.
最近，通过同步还原氧化石墨烯（GO）和合成金属纳米颗粒来用金属纳米颗粒修饰石墨烯的方法得到了广泛关注。在过去三十年里，金属修饰的碳基底，例如碳纳米管和氧化石墨烯，因其不同的潜在应用而受到科研团队的关注。利用氧化石墨烯作为纳米级基底来与金属氧化物形成纳米复合材料是一种新的思路，有望获得一种兼具GO作为有趣的纸状材料的特性和单个纳米尺寸金属颗粒特性的杂化材料。
石墨烯是一种由sp2杂化碳原子构成的蜂窝晶格碳同素异形体。它具有独特的性质和潜在应用。人们已经通过各种方法对其进行合成和改性，并与其他纳米材料，如金属、金属氧化物和一些复合氧化物制成了复合材料。
石墨烯 - 金属氧化物复合材料作为提高各种催化、能量转换中的存储反应、抗癌和药物递送应用效率的可行替代方案而受到关注。然而，通过结合GO自身优异的物理/化学性质以及可以与GO结合的多功能纳米材料，基于GO的材料在抗癌、药物递送、能源和环境应用方面有着光明的前景。
这篇综述文章描述了氧化石墨烯修饰（如金属、金属氧化物及其纳米复合材料基材料）发展方面的近期出版物。我们预计这个活跃的领域将继续快速发展，最终产生各种造福社会的成熟材料和器件。最后，复合材料的应用尚处于初始阶段。需要从理论和实验两方面对其进行系统研究。
