Dependence of electromagnetic wave absorption properties on the topography of Ni anchoring on reduced graphene oxide

Specific topographic Ni anchoring on reduced graphene oxide(rGO) composites show an astronomical potential as effective wave absorbers due to the synergistic electromagnetic loss effects.Herein,Ni/rGO composites with different topography were successfully prepared via hydrothermal in-situ reduction method.The structure and morphology characteristics revealed that particle-like,chain-like,coin-like and flower-like Ni were closely anchored onto rGO,respectively.The electromagnetic wave absorption(EMA) performance revealed that chain-like Ni/rGO exhibited the optimal reflection loss of-43.7 dB with a thickness of 1.8 mm as well as the EAB of 6.1 GHz at 2.0 mm among all samples due to the good impedance match and the synergistic dielectric and magnetic losses.Besides,one conclusion can be drawn that excellent magnetic coupling effect and impedance matching were the main reasons for significantly improving the EMA performance.Considering the systematic dependence of morphology on EMA,this work provides a perspective for designing high-performance absorbing materials.     

Ionic liquid-assisted electrochemical determination of pyrimethanil using reduced graphene oxide conjugated to flower-like NiCo2O4

The novel hierarchical flower-like superstructure NiCo₂O₄/reduced graphene oxide (rGO) hybrids have been successfully synthesized with a facile one-step hydrothermal process for the determination of fungicide pyrimethanil (PMT). For comparison, various structures of NiCo₂O₄/rGO including hexagonal nanoplates and nanorods were also synthesized. Among them, three-dimensional (3D) flower-like NiCo₂O₄/rGO exhibited the highest electrocatalytic activity for the oxidation of PMT. With the synergistic effect of [OMIM]PF₆ ionic liquid (IL), the electrochemical sensor film (NiCo₂O₄/rGO/IL) further facilitated interfacial electron transfer and enhanced electrocatalytic activity for the oxidation of PMT. Under the optimum conditions, the electrochemical sensor exhibited two linear ranges of 0.1–10.0 μmol/L and 20.0–140 μmol/L for PMT with a low detection concentration of 11.0 nmol/L. Besides, the interference, repeatability, reproducibility and stability measurements were also evaluated. The proposed method was successfully applied to the detection of PMT in water, seawater, fruits and vegetables with good recovery ranging from 93% to 105%, and possessed potential applications in the analysis of real samples.     

Segregated reduced graphene oxide polymer composite as a high performance electromagnetic interference shield

Herein, we report the synthesis of a graphene/polymer composite via a facile and straightforward approach for electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding applications. Polystyrene (PS) beads were added in graphene oxide (GO)/water solution followed by the addition of hydroiodic acid (HI) for in situ reduction of GO. The composite solution (rGO/PS) was filtered, hot compressed and tested for EMI shielding and dielectric measurements. A 2-mm thick segregated rGO/PS sample with 10 wt% filler loading delivered a high EMI shielding effectiveness (SE) of 29.7 dB and an AC electrical conductivity of 21.8 S m^?1, which is well above the commercial requirement for EMI shielding applications. For comparison with the segregated rGO/PS composite, a control polymer composite sample utilizing a thermally reduced graphene oxide was synthesized by following a conventional coagulation approach. The as-synthesized conventional rGO/PS yield an EMI SE of 14.2 dB and electrical conductivity of 12.5 S m^?1. The high EMI shielding of segregated rGO/PS is attributed to the better filler-to-filler contact among graphene layers surrounded by PS beads and also to the better reduction and preservation of graphene structure during reduction process that makes the low temperature chemically reduced segregated rGO/PS approach a viable route compared to high temperature thermally reduced conventional rGO/PS approach.

Nanocomposites of Sulfonic Polyaniline Nanoarrays on Graphene Nanosheets with an Improved Supercapacitor Performance

A new nanocomposite, poly(aniline‐co‐diphenylamine‐4‐sulfonic acid)/graphene (PANISP/rGO), was prepared by means of an in situ oxidation copolymerization of aniline (ANI) with diphenylamine‐4‐sulfonic acid (SP) in the presence of graphene oxide, followed by the chemical reduction of graphene oxide using hydrazine hydrate as a reductant. The morphology and structure of PANISP/rGO were characterized by field‐emission (FE) SEM, TEM, X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Raman, FTIR, and UV/Vis spectra. The electrochemical performance was evaluated by cyclic voltammetry, galvanostatic charge–discharge, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The PANISP/rGO nanocomposite showed a nanosized structure, with sulfonic polyaniline nanoarrays coated homogeneously on the surface of graphene nanosheets. This special structure of the nanocomposite also facilitates the enhancement of the electrochemical performance of the electrodes. The PANISP/rGO nanocomposite exhibits a specific supercapacitance up to 1170 F g^?1 at the current density of 0.5 A g^?1. The as‐prepared electrodes show excellent supercapacitive performance because of the synergistic effects between graphene and the sulfonic polyaniline copolymer chains.     

A label-free DNA reduced graphene oxide-based fluorescent sensor for highly sensitive and selective detection of hemin

G-quadruplex structure aptamer (PS2.M) can capture acridine orange (AO) from reduced graphene oxide (rGO). When the AO-PS2.M/rGO mixture is incubated with hemin, the specific binding of hemin with PS2.M results in a release of AO from PS2.M and return of AO back to rGO. Based on the quenching of fluorescence, the target hemin was detected sensitively and selectively, giving a detection limit of 50 nM.     

In Situ Reduction of Graphene Oxide in Waterborne Polyurethane Matrix and the Healing Behavior of Nanocomposites by Multiple Ways

Smart polymers are advanced materials that continue to attract scientific community. In this work, self‐healing waterborne polyurethane/reduced graphene oxide (SHWPU/rGO) nanocomposites were prepared by in situ chemical reduction of graphene oxide in a waterborne polyurethane matrix. The chemical structure, morphology, thermal stability, mechanical property, and electrical conductivity of the SHWPU/rGO nanocomposites were characterized. The prepared SHWPU/rGO nanocomposites were further treated under heating, microwave radiating, and electrifying conditions to investigate their healing property. The results showed that chemical reduction of graphene oxide was achieved using hydrazine hydrate as a reducing agent and the rGO was well dispersed in the SHWPU matrix. The thermal stability and mechanical properties of SHWPU/rGO nanocomposites were significantly increased. The SHWPU/rGO nanocomposites can be healed via different methods including heating, microwave radiating, and electrifying. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym. Sci., Part B: Polym.

Three-dimensional flower-like nickel oxide supported on graphene sheets as electrode material for supercapacitors

Dispersed three-dimensional (3D) flower-like nickel oxide on graphene sheets was synthesized by incorporating a facile hydrothermal process with a thermal treatment process. The possible growth mechanism of 3D flower-like NiO is discussed. When used as electrode materials for supercapacitors, the resultant composite exhibits a specific capacitance of 346F/g (1.5A/g), a good rate performance and cycle stability in 2?M KOH. NiO in the composite could provide a specific capacitance as high as 778.7F/g, compared to that of bare NiO of only 220F/g. The functional features of unique 3D flower-like NiO morphology, high conductivity of graphene sheets and its protective effect to the structure of NiO result in an improved electrochemical performance.     

Flower-like Spherical α-Ni(OH)2 Derived NiP2 as Superior Anode Material of Sodium-Ion Batteries

Transition metal phosphides (TMPs) are promising anode candidates for sodium-ion batteries, due to their high theoretical specific capacity and working potential. However, the low conductivity and excessive volume variation of TMPs during insertion/extraction of sodium ions result in a poor rate performance and long-term cycling stability, largely limiting their practical application. In this paper, NiP₂ nanoparticles encapsulated in three-dimensional graphene (NiP₂@rGO) were obtained from the flower-like spherical α-Ni(OH)₂ by phosphating and carbon encapsulation processes. When used as a sodium-ion batteries anode material, the NiP₂@rGO composite shows an excellent cycling performance (117 mA h g⁻¹ at 10 A g⁻¹ after 8000 cycles). The outstanding electrochemical performance of NiP₂@rGO is ascribed to the synergistic effect of the rGO and NiP₂. The rGO wrapped on the NiP₂ nanoparticles build a conductive way, improving ionic and electronic conductivity. The effective combination of NiP₂ nanoparticles with graphene greatly reduces the aggregation and pulverization of NiP₂ nanoparticles during the discharge/charge process. This study may shed light on the construction of high-performance anode materials for sodium-ion batteries and to other electrode materials.     

A Pyrolysis‐Free Covalent Organic Polymer for Oxygen Reduction

Highly efficient electrocatalysts derived from metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) and covalent organic frameworks (COFs) for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) have been developed. However, the subsequent pyrolysis is often needed owing to their poor intrinsic electrical conductivity, leading to undesirable structure changes and destruction of the original fine structure. Now, hybrid electrocatalysts were formed by self‐assembling pristine covalent organic polymer (COP) with reduced graphene oxide (rGO). The electrical conductivity of the hybridized COP/rGO materials is increased by more than seven orders of magnitude (from 3.06×10^?9 to 2.56×10^?1 S m^?1) compared with pure COPs. The ORR activities of the hybrid are enhanced significantly by the synergetic effect between highly active COP and highly conductive rGO. This COP/rGO hybrid catalyst exhibited a remarkable positive half‐wave (150 mV).     

Aniline as a dispersing and stabilizing agent for reduced graphene oxide and its subsequent decoration with Ag nanoparticles for enzymeless hydrogen peroxide detection

An aqueous dispersion of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) has been successfully prepared via chemical reduction of graphene oxide (GO) by hydrazine hydrate in the presence of aniline for the first time. The noncovalent functionalization of rGO by aniline leads to a rGO dispersion that can be very stable for several months without the observation of any floating or precipitated particles. Several analytical techniques including Raman spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) have been used to characterize the resulting rGO. Taking advantages of the fact reducing ability of aniline toward AgNO(3), we further demonstrated the subsequent decoration of rGO with Ag nanoparticles (AgNPs) by in situ chemical reduction of silver salts. It was found that such AgNP/rGO nanocomposites exhibit good catalytic activity toward the reduction of hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)), leading to an enzymeless sensor with a fast amperometric response time of less than 2s. The linear detection range is estimated to be from 100 μM to 80 mM (r=0.9991), and the detection limit is estimated to be 7.1 μM at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3.     

Concise,Single‐Step Synthesis of Sulfur‐Enriched Graphene: Immobilization of Molecular Clusters and Battery Applications

The concise synthesis of sulfur‐enriched graphene for battery applications is reported. The direct treatment of graphene oxide (GO) with the commercially available Lawesson's reagent produced sulfur‐enriched‐reduced GO (S‐rGO). Various techniques, such as X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), confirmed the occurrence of both sulfur functionalization and GO reduction. Also fabricated was a nanohybrid material by using S‐rGO with polyoxometalate (POM) as a cathode‐active material for a rechargeable battery. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed that POM clusters were individually immobilized on the S‐rGO surface. This battery, based on a POM/S‐rGO complex, exhibited greater cycling stability for the charge‐discharge process than a battery with nanohybrid materials positioned between the POM and nonenriched rGO. These results demonstrate that the use of sulfur‐containing groups on a graphene surface can be extended to applications such as the catalysis of electrochemical reactions and electrodes in other battery systems.     

Enhancing Hematite Photoanode Activity for Water Oxidation by Incorporation of Reduced Graphene Oxide

Two effective methods to prepare reduced graphene oxide (rGO)/hematite nanostructured photoanodes and their photoelectrochemical characterization towards water splitting reactions are presented. First, graphene oxide (GO) is reduced to rGO using hydrazine in a basic solution containing tetrabutylammonium hydroxide (TBAOH), and then deposited over the nanostructured hematite photoanodes previously treated at 750 °C for 30 min. The second method follows the deposition of a paste containing a mixture of hematite nanoparticles and rGO sheets by the doctor‐blade method, varying the rGO concentration. Since hematite suffers from low electron mobility, a low absorption coefficient, high recombination rates and slow reaction kinetics, the incorporation of rGO in the hematite can overcome such limitations due to graphene's exceptional properties. Using the first method, the rGO incorporation results in a photocurrent density increase from 0.56 to 0.82 mA cm^?2 at 1.23 V_RHE. Our results indicate that the rGO incorporation in the hematite photoanodes shows a positive effect in the reduction of the electron–hole recombination rate.     

Core–Shell LiFePO4/Carbon‐Coated Reduced Graphene Oxide Hybrids for High‐Power Lithium‐Ion Battery Cathodes

Core‐shell carbon‐coated LiFePO₄ nanoparticles were hybridized with reduced graphene (rGO) for high‐power lithium‐ion battery cathodes. Spontaneous aggregation of hydrophobic graphene in aqueous solutions during the formation of composite materials was precluded by employing hydrophilic graphene oxide (GO) as starting templates. The fabrication of true nanoscale carbon‐coated LiFePO₄‐rGO (LFP/C‐rGO) hybrids were ascribed to three factors: 1) In‐situ polymerization of polypyrrole for constrained nanoparticle synthesis of LiFePO₄, 2) enhanced dispersion of conducting 2D networks endowed by colloidal stability of GO, and 3) intimate contact between active materials and rGO. The importance of conducting template dispersion was demonstrated by contrasting LFP/C‐rGO hybrids with LFP/C‐rGO composites in which agglomerated rGO solution was used as the starting templates. The fabricated hybrid cathodes showed superior rate capability and cyclability with rates from 0.1 to 60 C. This study demonstrated the synergistic combination of nanosizing with efficient conducting templates to afford facile Li⁺ ion and electron transport for high power applications.

We present a novel approach to the fabrication of advanced polymeric nanocomposite hydrogels from polyacrylamide (PAAm) by incorporation of graphene‐silver‐polyethylenedioxythiophene‐polystyrene sulfonate (rGO‐Ag‐PEDOT/PSS) by photopolymerization method. Infrared spectroscopy was employed to characterize the structure of the hydrogels. The internal network structure of nanocomposite hydrogels was investigated by scanning electron microscope. Swelling, deswelling, and mechanical properties of the hydrogels were investigated. The compressive strength of nanocomposite hydrogels reaches maximum of 1.71 MPa when the ratio of rGO‐Ag‐PEDOT/PSS to PAAm was 0.3 wt%, which is 1.57 times higher than that of PAAm hydrogels (1.09 MPa). The electrical conductivity of the PAAm‐rGO‐Ag‐PEDOT/PSS hydrogel was found to be 3.91 × 10^?5 S cm^?1. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
