基于石墨烯修饰电极的电化学生物传感

石墨烯是一种具有单原子厚度的二维碳纳米材料,具有大的比表面积、高的导电性和室温电子迁移率,以及优异的机械力学性能.石墨烯还具有电化学窗口宽,电化学稳定性好,电荷传递电阻小,电催化活性高和电子转移速率快等电化学特性.化学修饰石墨烯,特别是氧化石墨烯(GO)和还原氧化石墨烯(rGO),可以被宏量、廉价地制备出来.它们具有可加工性能,可以被组装、加工或复合成具有可控组成和微结构的宏观电极材料.因此,石墨烯及其化学修饰衍生物是用于电化学生物传感的独特而诱人的电极材料.例如,GO是一种化学修饰石墨烯,也是石墨烯的重要前驱体;其边缘具有大量的羧基可用于共价固定酶,从而能实现酶电极的生物检测.在GO上的不可逆蛋白吸附也可以促进蛋白质的直接电子转移以提高其电化学检测性能.但是,GO大量的含氧官能团破坏了石墨烯本征的共轭结构,降低了其电学性能并限制了其实际应用.GO可以通过化学、电化学、热还原等技术转化成rGO,从而能部分修复其共轭结构,提高其导电性与传感性能.另一方面,石墨烯是一种零带隙材料;原子掺杂可以调控其能带结构,提高其电催化性能.石墨烯材料也常常需要通过与其它功能材料的复合进一步改善其可分散与可加工性能,提高其电催化活性和电化学选择性.本文综述了本征石墨烯(包括GO,rGO和掺杂石墨烯)以及石墨烯与生物分子、高分子、离子液体、金属或金属氧化物纳米粒子等复合材料修饰电极在检测各种生物分子方面的研究进展,并对该研究领域进行了展望.

Poly(methyl methacrylate)-Assisted Exfoliation of Graphite and Its Use in Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene Composites

One of the applications of graphene in which its scalable production is of utmost importance is the development of polymer composites. Among the techniques used to produce graphene flakes, the liquid-phase exfoliation (LPE) of graphite stands out due to its versatility and scalability. However, solvents suitable for the LPE process are generally toxic and have a high boiling point, making the processing challenging. The use of low boiling point solvents could be convenient for the processing, due to the easiness of their removal. In this study, the use of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) as a stabilizing agent is proposed for the production of graphene flakes in a low boiling point solvent, that is, acetone. The graphene dispersions produced in the mixture acetone-PMMA have higher concentration, +175 %, and contain a higher percentage of few-layer graphene flakes (<5 layers), that is, +60 %, compared to the dispersions prepared in acetone. The as-produced graphene dispersions are used to develop graphene/acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene composites. The mechanical properties of the pristine polymer are improved, that is, +22 % in the Young's modulus, by adding 0.01 wt. % of graphene flakes. Moreover, a decrease of ≈20 % in the oxygen permeability is obtained by using 0.1 wt. % of graphene flakes filler, compared to the unloaded matrix.

Nickel Oxide/Graphene Composites: Synthesis and Applications

Nickel oxide (NiO) has emerged as one of the most promising transition-metal oxides (TMOs) for electrochemical capacitors, batteries, catalysis, and electrochromic films, owing to its cost-effectiveness, abundance, and well-defined electrochemical properties. Recent studies have identified that mixing NiO with graphene or graphene derivatives results in novel composites with synergistic effects and superior electrochemical performance. This review summarizes the latest advances in composites of NiO with graphene or graphene derivatives. The synthetic strategies, morphologies, and electrochemical performance of these composites are introduced, as well as their electrochemical applications in supercapacitors, batteries, sensors, catalysis, and so forth. Finally, tentative conclusions and assessments regarding the opportunities and challenges for the future development of these composites and other TMOs/graphene or graphene-derived composites are presented.     

Precise Tuning of Surface Composition and Electron‐Transfer Properties of Graphene Oxide Films through Electroreduction

Graphene materials are generally prepared from the exfoliation of graphite oxide (GO) to graphene oxide, followed by subsequent chemical or thermal reduction. These methods, although efficient in removing most of the oxygen functionalities from the GO material, lack control over the extent of the reduction process. We demonstrate here an electrochemical reduction procedure that not only allows for precise control of the reduction process to obtain a graphene material with a well‐defined C/O ratio in the range of 3 to 10, but also one that is able to tune the electrocatalytic properties of the reduced material. A method that is able to precisely control the amount and density of the oxygen functionalities on the graphene material as well as its electrochemical behaviour is very important for several applications such as electronics, bio‐composites and electrochemical devices.

Electrochemical Determination of Hydrogen Peroxide Using a Glassy Carbon Electrode Modified with Three-Dimensional Copper Hydroxide Nanosupercages and Electrochemically Reduced Graphene Oxide

Three-dimensional copper hydroxide nanosupercages and electrochemically reduced graphene oxide were used to modify the glassy carbon electrode for the selective determination of hydrogen peroxide. The morphology and electrochemistry properties of copper hydroxide nanosupercage/electrochemically reduced graphene oxide/glassy carbon electrode were characterized using transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectra, Raman spectra, cyclic voltammetry, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The resulting copper hydroxide nanosupercage/electrochemically reduced graphene oxide/glassy carbon electrode showed favorable performance for the electrocatalytic reduction of hydrogen peroxide. The amperometric current–time curve of the electrochemical sensor exhibited a wide linear range from 0.5 to 1030?µM with a limit of detection of 0.23?µM at a signal-to-noise ratio of three. Moreover, the sensor provided favorable selectivity, reproducibility, and stability and was used for the determination of H₂O₂ in tap water.     

Thermal properties of multilayer graphene and hBN reinforced copper matrix composites

The unique properties of graphene make it a very attractive application, although there are still no commercial products in which graphene would play a key role. Good thermal conductivity is undoubtedly one of the attributes which can be easily used both in materials involving large monoatomic layers, that are very difficult to obtain, as well as multilayer graphene flakes, which have been commercially available on the market for several years. The article presents the results of tests on the characteristic thermal properties of composites with the addition of 2–15% of multilayer graphene (MLG) crystals. The motivation of the study was literature reports showing the possibility of increasing the thermal conductivity of composites with MLG participation in the copper matrix. Since the production of composites with increased properties is associated with obtaining a strong orientation of the flakes in the structure, composites with hBN flakes exhibiting significantly worse but also directional thermal properties were produced for comparison. The paper showed a strong influence of flake morphology on the possibility of creating a directional structure. The obtained Cu/MLG composites with the addition of only 2% MLG were characterized by an increase in the thermal conductivity coefficient of about 30% in relation to sinters without the participation of MLG.

     

High‐Concentration Graphene Dispersions with Minimal Stabilizer: A Scaffold for Enzyme Immobilization for Glucose Oxidation

Modified acrylate polymers are able to effectively exfoliate and stabilize pristine graphene nanosheets in aqueous media. Starting with pre‐exfoliated graphite greatly promotes the exfoliation level. The graphene concentration is significantly increased up to 11 mg mL^?1 by vacuum evaporation of the solvent from the dispersions under ambient temperature. TEM shows that 75 % of the flakes have fewer than five layers with about 18 % of the flakes consisting of monolayers. Importantly, a successive centrifugation and redispersion strategy is developed to enable the formation of dispersions with exceptionally high graphene‐to‐stabilizer ratio. Characterization by high‐resolution transmission electron microscopy, X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X‐ray diffraction, and Raman spectroscopy shows the flakes to be of high quality with very low levels of defects. These dispersions can act as a scaffold for the immobilization of enzymes applied, for example, in glucose oxidation. The electrochemical current density was significantly enhanced to be approximately six times higher than an electrode in the absence of graphene, thus showing potential applications in enzymatic biofuel cells.     

Graphene sheet/porous NiO hybrid film for supercapacitor applications

We report the preparation of a nickel-foam-supported graphene sheet/porous NiO hybrid film by the combination of electrophoretic deposition and chemical-bath deposition. The obtained graphene-sheet film of about 19 layers was used as the nanoscale substrate for the formation of a highly porous NiO film made up of interconnected NiO flakes with a thickness of 10-20 nm. The graphene sheet/porous NiO hybrid film exhibits excellent pseudocapacitive behavior with pseudocapacitances of 400 and 324 F g(-1) at 2 and 40 A g(-1), respectively, which is higher than those of the porous NiO film (279 and 188 F g(-1) at 2 and 40 A g(-1)). The enhancement of the pseudocapacitive properties is due to reinforcement of the electrochemical activity of the graphene-sheet film.
