The Magnetization of a Composite Based on Reduced Graphene Oxide and Polystyrene.

ABSTRACT: The use of reduced graphene oxide (r-GO) is a promising way of fabricating organic-inorganic composites with unique electrical and magnetic properties. In our work, polystyrene/r-GO composites were synthesized, in which both the components are linked together by covalent bonds. The r-GO used differs from the graphene obtained from graphite through mechanical exfoliation using the 'scotch tape' by presenting many structural defects. Binding in the composite structure between the components was confirmed by infrared spectroscopy. Elemental analysis was carried out by energy dispersive X-ray analysis. Scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and Raman spectroscopy were used to monitor the 2D-order in exfoliated r-GO galleries. Using a vibrating-sample magnetometer, we have shown that the composite magnetization loops demonstrate type-II superconductivity up to room temperature due to r-GO flakes. We believe that a strain field in the r-GO flakes covalently binding to a polymeric matrix is responsible for the superconductivity phenomena.

Magnetization of Ultraviolet-Reduced Graphene Oxide Flakes in Composites Based on Polystyrene.

Project description:This work presents our study results of the magnetization of multilayer UV-reduced graphene oxide (UV-rGO), polymer matrix (polystyrene), and a conjugated composite based on them. The mesoscopic structure of the composites synthesized in this work was studied by such methods as X-ray diffraction, SEM, as well as NMR-, IR- and Raman spectroscopy. The magnetization of the composites under investigation and their components was measured using a vibrating-sample magnetometer. It has been shown that the UV-reduction process leads to the formation of many submicron holes distributed inside rGO flakes, which can create edge defects, causing possibly magnetic order in the graphite samples under investigation on the mesoscopic level. This article provides an alternative explanation for the ferromagnetic hysteresis loop in UV-rGO on the base of superconductivity type-II.

Graphene/Reduced Graphene Oxide-Carbon Nanotubes Composite Electrodes: From Capacitive to Battery-Type Behaviour.

Project description:Thanks to the advanced technologies for energy generation such as solar cells and thermo- or piezo-generators the amount of electricity transformed from light, heat or mechanical pressure sources can be significantly enhanced. However, there is still a demand for effective storage devices to conserve electrical energy which addresses the wide range of large stationary applications from electric vehicles to small portable devices. Among the large variety of energy-storage systems available today, electrochemical energy sources and, in particular, supercapacitors (SC), are rather promising in terms of cost, scaling, power management, life cycle and safety. Therefore, this review surveys recent achievements in the development of SC based on composites of such carbon-derived materials as graphene (G) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) with carbon nanotubes (CNT). Various factors influencing the specific capacitance are discussed, while specific energy and power as well as cycling stability of SC with G/rGO-CNT composite electrode materials are overviewed.

Aramid Nanofibers/Reduced Graphene Oxide Composite Electrodes with High Mechanical Properties.

Project description:In this work, aramid nanofibers (ANFs)/reduced graphene oxide (ANFs/RGO) film electrodes were prepared by vacuum-assisted filtration, followed by hydroiodic acid reduction. Compared with thermal reduced ANFs/RGO, these as-prepared film electrodes exhibit a combination of mechanical and electrochemical properties with a tensile strength of 184.5 MPa and a volumetric specific capacitance of 134.4 F/cm3 at a current density of 0.125 mA/cm2, respectively. In addition, the film electrodes also show a superior cycle life with 94.6% capacitance retention after 5000 cycles. This kind of free-standing film electrode may have huge potential for flexible energy-storage devices.

Data on Arsenic(III) removal using zeolite-reduced graphene oxide composite.

Project description:This data article proposes a mechanisms of Arsenic(III) removal from water using zeolite-reduced graphene oxide (ZrGO) composite. Here, the adsorption kinetic and adsorption isotherm analysis for the data obtained by removal of Arsenic(III) using ZrGO is presented. The kinetic model fits the pseudo second order kinetics and indicates the adsorption mechanism to be chemisorption. Redlich Peterson isotherm model best describes the adsorption isotherm. The data are related to the research article "Synthesis of Fly ash based zeolite-reduced graphene oxide composite and its evaluation as an adsorbent for arsenic removal" (Soni and Shukla, 2019).

Oxidation of Arsenite by Epoxy Group on Reduced Graphene Oxide/Metal Oxide Composite Materials.

Project description:Reduced graphene oxide/metal oxide (rGO/MO) hybrid has been widely used as a catalyst, while dissolved oxygen or radicals are generally recognized as the oxidant. This study finds that the adsorbed arsenite (As(III)) on rGO/MO is oxidized to arsenate (As(V)) in the absence of other oxidants or radicals. The oxidation of As(III) is observed on varying rGO/MOs, including rGO/MOs composited of different types of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and metal oxide. The epoxy group on rGO acts as the oxidant, evidenced by the significant correlation between the consumption of epoxy group and oxidation of As(III). Meanwhile, metal oxide provides adsorption sites for As(III) during the adsorption-oxidation process. Based on a combination of spectroscopic measurements and computational calculation, a possible pathway for As(III) oxidation by rGO/MO is proposed: the oxygen atom in the epoxy group is bonded to the adsorbed AsIIIO3, which is consequently oxidized to AsVO4. Overall, this study proves the role of rGO/MO as an oxidant, which opens a new perspective on future studies using rGO/MO as a catalyst for the oxidation reaction.

Impedance Spectroscopy-Based Reduced Graphene Oxide-Incorporated ZnO Composite Sensor for H<sub>2</sub>S Investigations.

Project description:Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) has been applied to measure the H2S gas response of the sensor fabricated on reduced graphene oxide (rGO)-incorporated nano-zinc oxide (n-ZnO) composites. These nanocomposites were prepared by a facile one-step solution route at room temperature. The structural, surface morphological, and elemental analyses of the composite material have been investigated. EIS was carried out to study the H2S gas-sensing properties of fabricated sensors. The developed sensor showed an optimal H2S gas response to various concentrations ranging from 2 to 100 ppm at 90 °C. The H2S gas-sensing performances of pure n-ZnO and various concentrations of rGO-incorporated n-ZnO were evaluated. The H2S gas-sensing results showed that n-ZnO/rGO composites exhibited high response when compared to pure n-ZnO. The enhanced H2S response was speculated to be ascribed due to two factors. First, rGO creates reactive sites for H2S molecule adsorption. Second, rGO has great electrical conductivity compared to n-ZnO that enables the active transport of electrons from H2S gas on interaction with the sensing layer, resulting in enhanced gas response at 90 °C temperatures.

Realization of ferromagnetic graphene oxide with high magnetization by doping graphene oxide with nitrogen.

Project description:The long spin diffusion length makes graphene very attractive for novel spintronic devices, and thus has triggered a quest for integrating the charge and spin degrees of freedom. However, ideal graphene is intrinsic non-magnetic, due to a delocalized π bonding network. Therefore, synthesis of ferromagnetic graphene or its derivatives with high magnetization is urgent due to both fundamental and technological importance. Here we report that N-doping can be an effective route to obtain a very high magnetization of ca. 1.66 emu/g, and can make graphene oxide (GO) to be ferromagnetism with a Curie-temperature of 100.2 K. Clearly, our findings can offer the easy realization of ferromagnetic GO with high magnetization, therefore, push the way for potential applications in spintronic devices.

A Promising Electrochemical Platform for Dopamine and Uric Acid Detection Based on a Polyaniline/Iron Oxide-Tin Oxide/Reduced Graphene Oxide Ternary Composite.

Project description:A ternary polyaniline/Fe2O3-SnO2/reduced graphene oxide (PFSG) nanocomposite was prepared using a simple two-step hydrothermal treatment. The composite was applied as a glassy carbon electrode modifier (GCE) to enhance dopamine (DA) and uric acid (UA) detection. The ternary PFSG composite was compared with its binary precursor Fe2O3-SnO2/reduced graphene oxide (FSG). The influence of the modified GCE electrodes on their performance as a sensing platform was determined. GCE/PFSG showed better sensing parameters than GCE/FSG due to the introduction of polyaniline (PANI), increasing the electrocatalytic properties of the electrode towards the detected analytes. GCE/PFSG enabled the detection of low concentrations of DA (0.076 µM) and UA (1.6 µM). The peak potential separation between DA and UA was very good (180 mV). Moreover, the DA oxidation peak was unaffected even if the concentration of UA was ten times higher. The fabricated sensor showed excellent performance in the simultaneous detection with DA and UA limits of detection: LODDA = 0.15 µM and LODUA = 6.4 µM, and outstanding long-term stability towards DA and UA, holding 100% and 90% of their initial signals respectively, after one month of use.

Ultra-Fine Ruthenium Oxide Quantum Dots/Reduced Graphene Oxide Composite as Electrodes for High-Performance Supercapacitors.

Project description:This study synthesized ultra-fine nanometer-scaled ruthenium oxide (RuO2) quantum dots (QDs) on reduced graphene oxide (rGO) surface by a facile and rapid microwave-assisted hydrothermal approach. Benefiting from the synergistic effect of RuO2 and rGO, RuO2/rGO nanocomposite electrodes showed ultra-high capacitive performance. The impact of different RuO2 loadings in RuO2/rGO nanocomposite on their electrochemical performance was investigated by various characterizations. The composite RG-2 with 38 wt.% RuO2 loadings exhibited a specific capacitance of 1120 F g-1 at 1 A g-1. In addition, it has an excellent capacity retention rate of 84 % from 1A g-1 to 10 A g-1, and excellent cycling stability of 89% retention after 10,000 cycles, indicating fast ion-involved redox reactions on the nanocomposite surfaces. These results illustrate that RuO2/rGO composites prepared by this facile process can be an ideal candidate electrode for high-performance supercapacitors.
