Hydrothermal Synthesis of Graphene Quantum Dots Supported on Three-Dimensional Graphene for Supercapacitors.

ABSTRACT: Incorporation of new functional components into a three-dimensional graphene (3DG) framework improves the performance of supercapacitors based on 3DG as electrodes by tailoring the framework's structure and properties. In this work, graphene quantum dots (GQDs) were incorporated into 3DG via one-step hydrothermal treatment of GQDs and graphene oxide (GO). By simply adjusting the GQDs/GO feeding ratio by weight, various GQDs/3DG composites were formed. The maximum feeding ratio was 80%, and the prepared composites possessed saturated GQDs loading on the 3DG framework, whereas composites obtained with a GQDs/GO feeding ratio of 40% as electrodes exhibited optimal specific capacitance of 242 F·g-1 for supercapacitors, an increase of 22% compared with that of pure 3DG electrodes (198 F·g-1). This improved performance was mainly due to better electrical conductivity and larger surface area for GQDs/3DG composites with moderate GQDs content. The fabricated GQDs/3DG composites as electrodes for supercapacitors revealed high electrochemical stability. Their capacitance kept 93% of the initial value after 10,000 charge-discharge cycles.

Project description:In order to find a convenient and stable way to trace human skin fibroblasts (HSFs) in three-dimensional tissue engineering scaffolds for a long time, in this experiment, Graphene Oxide Quantum Dots (GOQDs), Amino Graphene Quantum Dots (AGQDs) and Carboxyl Graphene Quantum Dots (CGQDs) were used as the material source for labeling HSFs. Exploring the possibility of using it as a long-term tracer of HSFs in three-dimensional tissue engineering scaffolds, the contents of the experiment are as follows: the HSFs were cultured in a cell-culture medium composed of three kinds of Graphene Quantum Dots for 24 h, respectively; (1) using Cell Counting Kit 8 (CCK8), Transwell migration chamber and Phalloidin-iFlior 488 to detect the effect of Graphene Quantum Dots on the biocompatibility of HSFs; (2) using a living cell workstation to detect the fluorescence labeling results of three kinds of Graphene Quantum Dots on HSFs, and testing the fluorescence attenuation of HSFs for 7 days; (3) the HSFs labeled with Graphene Quantum Dots were inoculated on the three-dimensional chitosan demethylcellulose sodium scaffold, and the living cell workstation was used to detect the spatial distribution of the HSFs on the three-dimensional scaffold through the fluorescence properties of the HSFs.. Experimental results: (1) the results of CCK8, Transwell migration, and FITC-Phalloidin cytoskeleton test showed that the three kinds of Graphene Quantum Dots had no effect on the biological properties of HSFs (p < 0.05); (2) the results of the fluorescence labeling experiment showed that only AGQDs could make HSFs fluorescent, and cells showed orange-red fluorescence; (3) the results of long-range tracing of HSFs which were labeled by with AGQDs showed that the fluorescence life of the HSFs were as long as 7 days; (4) The spatial distribution of HSFs can be detected on the three-dimensional scaffold based on their fluorescence properties, and the detection time can be up to 7 days.
