Reduced graphene oxide/metal oxide nanoparticles composite membranes for highly efficient molecular separation

Graphene oxide(GO) membranes play an important role in various nanofiltration applications including desalination, water purification, gas separation, and pervaporation. However, it is still very challenging to achieve both high separation efficiency and good water permeance at the same time. Here, we synthesized two kinds of GO-based composite membranes i.e. reduced GO(rGO)@MoO_2 and rGO@WO_3 by in-situ growth of metal nanoparticles on the surface of GO sheets. They show a high separation efficiency of ～100% for various organic dyes such as rhodamine B, methylene blue and evans blue, along with a water permeance over 125 Lm~(-2) h~(-1) bar~(-1). The high water permeance and rejection efficiency open up the possibility for the real applications of our GO composite membranes in water purification and wastewater treatment. Furthermore, this composite strategy can be readily extended to the fabrication of other ultrathin molecular sieving membranes for a wide range of molecular separation applications.     

Reduced graphene oxide/CoSe2 nanocomposites: hydrothermal synthesis and their enhanced electrocatalytic activity

Reduced graphene oxide (RGO)/CoSe₂ nanocomposites were synthesized by self-assembly of CoSe₂/DETA (DETA: diethylenetriamine) onto the surface of graphene oxide (GO), followed by subsequent chemical reduction of GO during a hydrothermal process. The as-synthesized products were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, Raman spectra, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. The morphology of the CoSe₂ on the RGO nanosheets can be well controlled by adjusting the reaction time during the hydrothermal process. The catalytic activities of the RGO/CoSe₂ nanocomposites were investigated for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in alkaline conditions. It was found that the as-formed RGO/CoSe₂ nanocomposites show higher catalytic activity compared with the unsupported CoSe₂. In addition, the loading amounts and morphologies of CoSe₂ on RGO sheets have a great influence on the catalytic performance of RGO/CoSe₂. Our studies raise promising possibilities for designing effective OER electrocatalysts for energy conversion.     

A facile one-step synthesis of TiO2/graphene composites for photodegradation of methyl orange

TiO₂/graphene composite photocatalysts have been prepared by a simple liquid phase deposition method using titanium tetrafluoride and electron beam (EB) irradiation-pretreated graphene as the raw materials. The products were characterized by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis. The effects of varying the synthesis parameters such as graphene content, concentration of titanium tetrafluoride solution and irradiation dose were investigated. It was found that the preparation conditions had a significant effect on the structure and properties of the final products. The irradiated graphene was covered with petal-like anatase TiO₂ nanoparticles, which were more uniform and smaller in size than those in products synthesized without EB irradiation-pretreated graphene. The photocatalytic activities of the products were evaluated using the photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange as a probe reaction. The results showed that the products synthesized using EB irradiation-pretreated graphene exhibited higher photocatalytic activities than those using graphene without EB irradiation pretreatment.      

Reduced graphene oxide resistance in composites with polystyrene of different molecular masses

Abstract

Multi-layered reduced graphene oxide after UV-perforation (RGO_p) flakes of large areas, some of them up to 1?mm in diameter, have been produced on polystyrene surface during special precipitation method of RGO_p/polystyrene composites from benzene solution. For this, composites on the base of polystyrenes of different molecular masses: 4500?Da; 6000?Da; 9000?Da; and 45,000?Da were synthesized. Very low resistances at the room temperature for some RGO_p flakes deposited from benzene-petroleum ether solution of composite of 9000?Da molecular mass were obtained. The absolute values of measured resistances turned out to be almost 3 orders lower than copper resistance. This result can be related to formation a high conductive phase in the reduced graphene oxide bilayer inclusions. In the case of RGO_p flakes produced from our highest molecular mass polystyrene composite (45,000?Da) resistance was high and varying from semiconducting values to non-conductive state.

Polypyrrole nanotube/ferrocene-modified graphene oxide composites (PNT/GO-Fc, PNT/GO-Fc-GO, PNT/GO-EDA-Fc and PNT/GO-EDA-Fc-EDA-GO) were fabricated via in situ chemical oxidative polymerization. The prepared composites were characterized by FTIR, XRD, XPS, Raman, TGA, SEM, TEM and EDS. The electromagnetic interference shielding performance of the prepared composites was evaluated by a coaxial method within the frequency range of 1.0–4.5 GHz. The results demonstrated that the composite of PNT/GO-EDA-Fc-EDA-GO-7:1 exhibited the best electromagnetic interference shielding property with 28.73 dB (at the frequency of 1.0175 GHz with the thickness of 3.0 mm) of total shielding effectiveness by adding 50 wt% of the composite in the paraffin matrix. And the composite of PNT/GO-EDA-Fc-EDA-GO-7:1 exhibited good conductivity with a value of 1.320 S/cm. The relationship between the conductivities of prepared samples and the EMI shielding performance was investigated.

Weak-reduction graphene oxide membrane for improving water purification performance

Two-dimensional(2 D) materials are promising candidates for advanced water purification membranes.In this work, UV reduced GO(Ur GO) membranes on the support of polyvinylidene fluoride(PVDF) had been fabricated for wastewater treatment. The reduction degree of GO membrane on the effect of water purification performance was investigated, and it was found that the weak-reduction GO membrane exhibited the optimal performance of removing pollutant from wastewater than GO membrane. Besides,scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Raman spectra and contact angle tests were used to characterize the physical and chemical properties of the Ur GO membranes, and the permeance and rejection ability of the as-prepared filtration membranes were determined. Due to the weak-reduction of GO, pristine graphitic sp2 domains increased with slightly decreasing D-spacing. Thus,the Ur GO membrane showed a higher water flux of 38.27 L m~(-2)h~(-1) bar~(-1), which was improved more than 270% compared to GO membrane, and dyes rejection increased. Those outstanding performances indicated that the Ur GO membrane could effectively regulate the contradiction of the trade-off balance between flux and rejection, and hold great potential in real-world waste-water purification.     

One-pot hydrothermal synthesis of rod-like FeOOH/reduced graphene oxide composites for supercapacitor

FeOOH/reduced graphene oxide (rGO) composites have been synthesized by a facile hydrothermal method. The morphology and structure of the obtained products were examined by scanning electron microscope, Raman, X-ray diffraction, thermo gravimetric analysis, and BET. The results show that the FeOOH nanorods were formed on graphene sheets by oxidation of graphene oxide rather than the O₂ in air, and CH₃COONa benefited the growth of FeOOH rods but is not necessary. The products were about 150 nm long obtained with the existence of CH₃COONa, while 50 nm long without CH₃COONa. The FeOOH/rGO generated with CH₃COONa showed capacitance of 501.71 F/g at current density of 2 A/g in 1 mol/L NaOH, while that generated without CH₃COONa showed higher specific capacitance of 537.14 F/g. The difference may be related to the amount of rGO, for the former one contained 82.61 wt% FeOOH while the later one contained 66.13 wt% FeOOH, which indicates the quantity of rGO and the their combination played an important role in the performance of the electrode materials.     

Ambient flash sintering of reduced graphene oxide/zirconia composites:Role of reduced graphene oxide

Fabrication of graphene/ceramic composites commonly requires a high-temperature sintering step with long times as well as a vacuum or inert atmosphere,which not only results in property degradation but also significant equipment complexity and manufacturing costs.In this work,the ambient flash sintering behavior of reduced graphene oxide/3 mol% yttria-stabilized ZrO₂(rGO/3 YSZ) composites utilizing rGO as both a composite component and a conductive additive is reported.When the sintering condition is carefully optimized,a dense and conductive composite can be achieved at room temperature and in the air within 20 s.The role of the rGO in the FS of the rGO/3 YSZ composites is elucidated,especially with the assistance of a separate investigation on the thermal runaway behavior of the rGO.The work suggests a promising fabrication route for rGO/ceramic composites where the vacuum and furnace are not needed,which is of interest in terms of simplifying the fabrication equipment for energy and cost savings.     

Layer-by-layer assembled graphene oxide/polydiallydimethylammonium chloride composites for hydrogen gas barrier application

Poly(diallyldimethylammoium chloride) (PDDA)/acid or base modified graphene oxide (MGO) composite (PDDA/MGO)-based gas barrier films were prepared by layer-by-layer (LBL) assembly method on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate using a spray coating assisted deposition. The effect of pH on the hydrogen gas permeability (H₂GP) values of the different MGO-based films was investigated to determine the optimum pH value of the MGO solution for the preparation of PDDA/MGO-based LBL assembly. Accordingly, the different numbers of bilayers based LBL-assembled films were prepared using alternate deposition of PDDA and MGO solutions and the H₂GP values were measured for those assemblies. The films were characterized by XRD, FT-IR, and Raman spectroscopy analyses. The morphology of the LBL-assembled film was observed by cross-sectional field emission scanning electron microscopy which confirms densely packed layered structure. The H₂GP of six bilayers PDDA/MGO composite film is 5.7 cc/m²?d?atm, which is much lower than that of pure PET substrate (170.7 cc/m²?d?atm), indicating 96.7% decrease in H₂GP. This result suggests that the PDDA/MGO composite film could be used as a potential candidate to fabricate hydrogen gas barrier coating material.

Reduced graphene oxide deposited carbon fiber reinforced polymer composites for electromagnetic interference shielding

Reduced graphene oxide deposited carbon fiber (rGO-CF) was prepared by introducing GO onto CF surface through electrophoretic deposition method, following by reducing the GO sheets on CF with NaBH₄ solution. The rGO-CF was found to be more effective than CF to improve the electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding property of unsaturated polyester (UP) based composites. With 0.75% mass fraction of rGO-CF, the shielding effectiveness of the composite reached 37.8 dB at the frequency range of 8.2–12.4 GHz (x-band), which had 16.3% increase than that of CF/UP composite (32.5 dB) in the same fiber mass fraction. The results suggest that rGO-CF is a good candidate for the use as a light-weight EMI shielding material.     

Surfactant-assisted synthesis of reduced graphene oxide/polyaniline composites by gamma irradiation for supercapacitors

A series of graphene materials are prepared by intercalation of graphene oxide (GO) with different surfactants, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), n-octyltrimethylammonium bromide, tetramethylammonium bromide, and sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate, subsequently by γ-ray induced reduction in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) at room temperature. GO can be reduced by the electrons generated from the radiolysis of NMP under γ-ray irradiation, and reduced GO is simultaneously functionalized by the radiolytic product of NMP. Cationic surfactant CTAB with longer alkyl chains can effectively promote the reduction process of GO by preventing the aggregation of graphene sheets, which has been testified by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, Raman spectroscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analyses. Furthermore, when the as-prepared graphene/polyaniline composites are used for supercapacitor electrode materials, there is a highest specific capacitance of 484 F g^?1 at a current density of 0.1 A g^?1 for the graphene produced in the presence of cationic surfactant CTAB.     

Starch/polylactide sustainable composites: Interface tailoring with graphene oxide

The high production cost of polylactide (PLA) can be effectively reduced by simply mixing with starch, unfortunately a trade-off of its mechanical properties. In this paper, we reported a new strategy in which graphene oxide (GO) was used as a compatibilizer to bridge PLA and starch. The native starch was first cationized and then encapsulated with GO by electrostatic force between the negatively charged GO and the positively charged cationic starch. The encapsulating GO was reduced by the quaternary ammonium ions on the cationic starch, which converted the surface of the starch from hydrophilic to hydrophobic. Due to the amphipathicity approximation between PLA and starch, a good dispersion as well as a strong interfacial adhesion was achieved. The PLA composite reinforced with GO encapsulated starch exhibited much higher yield strength than that of pure PLA, increasing from 36.64 MPa up to 41.40 MPa.
