Electrical Conductivity of Alkaline-reduced Graphene Oxide

A green route using a very simple and straightforward ultrasonic process under alkaline conditions, rather than a general chemical reduction process using hydrazine, was utilized to obtain the hydrophilic reduced graphene oxide(RGO) sheets, via removing oxygen functional groups from graphene oxide(GO) and repairing the aromatic structure. It is found that the conductivity of the obtained RGO could be tuned by changing pH value in alkaline solution, and the current-voltage(I-V) curves of both GO and RGO are nonlinear and slightly asymmetric. Under the same applied voltage, the current of RGO is much larger than that of GO, indicating a pronounced increase in the electrical conductivity of RGO, compared to that of GO.

Biphasic defective TiO_2-x/reduced graphene oxide(RGO) nanocomposites were synthesized by simple hydrothermal reactions. Compared with TiO_2-x and commercial P25, TiO_2-x/RGO shows much better photocatalytic activity and excellent stability in pollutants degradation, which could be ascribed to Ti³⁺ centers complexed with RGO and the synergetic effect between the two phases. The study reveals a new route for the synthesis of mixed-phase defective TiO_2-x/carbon material nanocomposites for photocatalytic applications.     

Injectable Graphene Oxide/Graphene Composite Supramolecular Hydrogel for Delivery of Anti-Cancer Drugs

Injectable hydrogels have attracted a lot of attention in drug delivery, however, their capacity to deliver water-insoluble or hydrophobic anti-cancer drugs is limited. Here, we developed injectable graphene oxide/graphene composite supramolecular hydrogels to deliver anti-cancer drugs. Pluronic F-127 was used to stabilize graphene oxide (GO) and reduced graphene oxide (RGO) in solution, which was mixed with α-cyclodextrin (α-CD) solution to form hydrogels. Native hydrogel was used as control. GO or RGO slightly shortened gelation time. The storage and loss moduli of the hydrogels were tracked by dynamic force measurement. The storage modulus of GO or RGO composite hydrogels was larger than that of the native hydrogel. Hydrogels were unstable in solution and eroded gradually. GO or RGO in Pluronic F-127 solution could potentially improve the solubility of the water-insoluble anti-cancer drug camptothecin (CPT), especially with large drug-loaded CPT amount. Drug release behaviors from solutions and hydrogels were characterized. The nanocomponents (GO or RGO) were able to bind more drug molecules either for CPT or for doxorubicin hydrochloride (DXR) in solution. Therefore, GO or RGO composite hydrogel could potentially enable better controlled and gentler drug release (for both CPT and DXR) than native hydrogel.     

A Green and Mild Approach of Synthesis of Highly-Conductive Graphene Film by Zn Reduction of Exfoliated Graphite Oxide

We report a simple and green approach to synthesize reduced graphene oxide (RGO) nanosheets at room temperature based on Zn reduction of exfoliated GO. The evolution of GO to RGO has been characterized by X-ray diffraction, UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy. The results of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy reveal that the atomic ratio of carbon to oxygen in the RGO can be tuned from 1.67 to 13.7 through controlling the reduction time. Moreover, the conductivity of the RGO is measured to be 26.9±2.2 kS/m, much larger than those previously obtained by chemical reduction through other reducing agents. More importantly, the resistance of the RGO film with 20 nm thick-ness can be as low as 2 kΩ/square, while a high transparency over 70% within a broad spectral range from 0.45 μm to 1.50 μm can be retained. The proposed method is low-cost, eco-friendly and highly-effcient, the as-prepared thinner RGO films are useful in a variety of potential application fields such as optoelectronics, photovoltaics and electrochemistry by serving as an ultralight, flexible and transparent electrode material.     

Activated carbon/graphene composites with high-rate performance as electrode materials for electrochemical capacitors

Glucose-derived activated carbon (GAC)/reduced graphene oxide (RGO) composites are prepared by pre-carbonization of the precursors (aqueous mixture of glucose and graphene oxide) and KOH activation of the pyrolysis products. The effect of the mass ratio of graphene oxide (GO) in the precursor on the electrochemical performance of GAC/RGO composites as electrode materials for electrochemical capacitors is investigated. It is found that the thermally reduced graphene oxide sheets serves as a wrinkled carrier to support the activated carbon particles after activation. The pore size distribution and surface area are depended on the mass ratio of GO. Besides, the rate capability of GAC is improved by the introduction of GO in the precursor. The highest specific capacitance of 334 F g^?1 is achieved for the GAC/RGO composite prepared from the precursor with a GO mass ratio of 3 %.     

Improvement of ammonia sensing properties of polypyrrole by nanocomposite with graphitic materials

The more sensitive and rapid ammonia gas sensors were prepared with nanocomposites of polypyrrole (PPy) and graphitic materials such as graphite, graphite oxide (GO), and reduced graphene oxide (RGO). Pyrrole was polymerized uniformly on the surface of graphitic materials by in situ polymerization method. The structures of nanocomposites were studied by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy indicating the well-exfoliated GO and RGO in PPy matrix with favorable interfacial interaction. PPy/RGO nanocomposite showed the highly improved response in detecting ammonia gas mainly due to the effective electron charge transfer between PPy and ammonia and the efficient transfer of electrical resistance variation by the uniformly dispersed conductive RGO in PPy. PPy/RGO nanocomposite gas sensor also showed the excellent reproducibility in ammonia sensing behavior during the recovery process at lower temperature of 373 K.
