Enhanced Photocatalytic Degradation of Methylene Blue over Hexagonal WO<Subscript>3</Subscript>/Graphene under Visible-Light Irradiation

A series of composites containing hexagonal tungsten trioxide (h-WO₃) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) sheets are synthesized via a modified one-step hydrothermal route without assisted additive. The composites are characterized by transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and UV-vis absorption spectroscopy. The new procedure made it possible to increase the reduction degree of GO. Based on the evidence presented hexagonal WO₃ grows on the surface of graphene through chemical interactions with the surface. The visible-light photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue shows that the h-WO₃/rGO composites exhibit superior photocatalytic performance of 96% with a maximum degradation rate achieved under visible-light irradiation for 6 h. The speculations concerning the mechanism of photocatalytic reactions are discussed. The improved photocatalytic activity can be accounted for by the increased adsorption toward chemical species, the enhanced light absorption and an efficient separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs and transfer of charge carriers.

Electrochemistry at chemically modified graphenes

Electrochemical applications of graphene are of great interest to many researchers as they can potentially lead to crucial technological advancements in fabrication of electrochemical devices for energy production and storage, and highly sensitive sensors. There are many routes towards fabrication of bulk quantities of chemically modified graphenes (CMG) for applications such as electrode materials. Each of them yields different graphene materials with different functionalities and structural defects. Here, we compare the electrochemical properties of five different chemically modified graphenes: graphite oxide, graphene oxide, thermally reduced graphene oxide, chemically reduced graphene oxide, and electrochemically reduced graphene oxide. We characterized these materials using transmission electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, high-resolution X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and cyclic voltammetry, which allowed us to correlate the electrochemical properties with the structural and chemical features of the CMGs. We found that thermally reduced graphene oxide offers the most favorable electrochemical performance among the different materials studied. Our findings have a profound impact for the applications of chemically modified graphenes in electrochemical devices.     

Influence of parent graphite particle size on the electrochemistry of thermally reduced graphene oxide

Electrochemical applications of graphene are of very high importance. For electrochemistry, bulk quantities of materials are needed. The most common preparation of bulk quantities of graphene materials is based on oxidation of graphite to graphite oxide and subsequent thermal exfoliation of graphite oxide to thermally reduced graphene oxide (TR-GO). It is important to investigate to which extent a reaction condition, that is, composition of the oxidation mixture and size of graphite materials, influences the properties of the resulting materials. We characterised six graphite materials with a range of particle sizes (0.05, 11, 20, 32, 35 and 41 μm) and the TR-GO products prepared from them by use of scanning electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Cyclic voltammetric performance of the TR-GO samples was compared using ferro/ferricyanide and ascorbic acid. We observed no correlation between size of initial graphite and properties of the resultant TR-GO such as density of surface defects, amount of oxygen-containing groups, or rate of heterogeneous electron transfer (HET). A positive correspondence between HET rate and high defect density as well as low amounts of oxygen functionalities was noted. Our findings will have profound influence upon practical fabrication of graphene for applications in sensing and energy storage devices.

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.

Moreover, the sensor provided favorable selectivity, reproducibility, and stability and was used for the determination of H₂O₂ in tap water.     

A composite polyaniline/graphene–coated polyamide6 nanofiber mat for electrochemical applications

In this study, polyamide6 (PA6) nanofiber mats were fabricated through the electrospinning process. The nanofibers were coated by polyaniline (PANI) using the in situ polymerization of aniline in the presence of graphene oxide. The composite of the PANI/graphene oxide–coated nanofiber mat was treated with hydrazine monohydrate to reduce graphene oxide to graphene, and this was followed by the reoxidation of PANI. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), wide angle X‐ray diffraction (WAXD), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), tensile strength tests, electrical conductivity measurements, cyclic voltammetry (CV), and charge/discharge measurements were conducted on the composite PA6/graphene nanofiber mats. It was found that the surface of the PA6 nanofibers was coated uniformly with the granular PANI and graphene oxide. Besides, the composite nanofibers showed good tensile and thermal properties. Their electrical conductivity and specific capacitance, when used as a separator in the cell, were 1.02 × 10^?4 S/cm and 423.28 F/g, respectively. Therefore, the composite PANI/reduced graphene oxide–coated PA6 nanofiber mats could be regarded as suitable candidates for application in energy storage devices.
