Molybdenum complex was immobilized on the extracted cellulose from Palmer amaranth plant (CLCSbMo). Then, by addition of graphene oxide/ZnO bio-nanocomposite to CLCSbMo, rGO/ZnO@CLCSbMo bio-nanopolymer was produced. It was characterized by SEM, FT-IR, TGA, DTA, XRD and EDAX. Its catalytic activity was investigated on the oxidation of alcohols and corresponded aldehydes and ketones were obtained with high conversions and excellent selectivities. This heterogeneous catalyst was recycled and data were shown the high stability and durability after five runs.
