The rapid development of portable and wearable electronic devices requires novel energy storage devices. Flexible, high-performance electrode materials are critical for meeting the demands yet remain challenging. Here, a rationally designed flexible NiCo 2 S 4 @rGO/rGO film constructed with NiCo 2 S 4 @rGO frameworks is successfully prepared through a step-wise process (hydrothermal, freeze-drying, vacuum filtration, and then sulfurization/reduction). The NiCo 2 S 4 @rGO/rGO film as flexible electrode shows typical battery-type faradaic redox features and exhibits a high specific capacitance of 1100.0 F g −1 at 1 A g −1 , a good rate performance of 89.1% capacity retention at 10 A g −1 coupled with long cycling stability of 90.2% after 5000 cycles. The good electrochemical performance is mainly attributed to the loose layered structure and strong interaction between NiCo 2 S 4 and rGO nanosheets , which enhance the diffusion of electrolyte ions/electrons and decreases intrinsic resistance and contact resistance. A flexible hybrid supercapacitor assembled using the NiCo 2 S 4 @rGO/rGO film as cathode and the rGO film as anode shows a high energy density of 30.0 Wh kg −1 at a power density of 857.6 W kg −1 at an extended operating voltage of 1.8 V. The method can also be readily adapted for loading other bimetallic sulfides on rGO films, indicative of its feasibility and flexibility to prepare rGO-based hybrid film for high-performance flexible electrochemical energy storage .

A nanocomposite of rGO/MXene-Pd/rGO with hierarchical structure based on Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene, Pd nanoparticles, and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) was synthesized by a green approach. Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene decorated with Pd nanoparticles (MXene-Pd) was prepared first. Then, graphene oxide (GO), MXene-Pd, and GO were coated on the surface of the glassy carbon electrode (GCE) in sequence. After each coating of the GO layer, the GO nanosheets were reduced to rGO electrochemically. The fabricated rGO/MXene-Pd/rGO hierarchical framework performs a pie structure with MXene-Pd as the stuffing and rGO nanosheets as the crust, which will be beneficial to the enhancement of its electrochemical sensing performance. As compared with other electrodes, the rGO/MXene-Pd/rGO/GCE exhibited higher electrocatalytic activity and better sensing performance for luteolin detection, with a wide linear range of 6.0 × 10 −10 to 8 × 10 −7 M and 1.0 × 10 −6 to 1.0 × 10 −5 M (oxidation peak potential E pa = 0.34 V vs . SCE), a low detection limit of 2.0 × 10 −10 M, and a high sensitivity of 112.72 µA µM −1 cm −2 . Moreover, the fabricated sensor also showed high selectivity, reproducibility, and repeatability toward the detection of luteolin. The real sample analysis for luteolin in honeysuckle was successfully carried out by rGO/MXene-Pd/rGO and verified with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis techniques with acceptable results. All the above tests indicate the promising application prospect of the rGO/MXene-Pd/rGO framework for luteolin detection in honeysuckle and other herbs containing luteolin. Graphical abstract

Semiconductor photocatalysis has received much attention as a promising technique to solve energy crisis and environmental pollution. This work demonstrated the rational design of “sandwich” WO3/rGO/SnIn4S8(WGS) Z-scheme photocatalysts for efficient purification of wastewater emitted from tannery and dyeing industries. Such materials were prepared by a combined protocol of the in situ precipitation method with hydrothermal synthesis, and structurally characterized by XRD, SEM, HRTEM, UV-vis DRS, and PL spectroscopy. Results showed that the Z-schemed nanohybrids significantly enhanced the photocatalytic activity compared to the single component photocatalysts. An optimized case of the WGS-2.5% photocatalysts exhibited the highest Cr(VI) reduction rate, which was ca. 1.8 and 12 times more than those of pure SnIn4S8(SIS) and WO3, respectively. Moreover, the molecular mechanism of the enhanced photocatalysis was clearly revealed by the radical-trapping control experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance (ESR) spectroscopy. The amount of superoxide and hydroxyl radicals as the major reactive oxygen species performing the redox catalysis was enhanced significantly on the Z-scheme WGS photocatalysts, where the spatial separation of photoinduced electron–hole pairs was therefore accelerated for the reduction of Cr(VI) and degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB). This study provides a novel strategy for the synthesis of all-solid-state Z-scheme photocatalysts for environmental remediation.Keywords:WO3/rGO/SnIn4S8;Z-scheme photocatalyst;active oxygen species;photocatalytic Cr (VI) reduction;rGO

The widespread application of metal-based nanoparticle (MNPs)/reduced graphene oxide (rGO) composites inevitably leads to their release into soils. However, we lack a detailed understanding of the bacterial community response to MNPs-rGO exposure in farmland soils. Here, we conducted a soil microcosm experiment to analyze the potential impact of MNPs-rGO on bacterial communities in two field soils via high-throughput sequencing. The change in alpha diversity of bacterial communities was more susceptible to Ag-rGO and ZnO-rGO treatments than CuO-rGO. In both soils, MNPs-rGO significantly changed the bacterial community structure even at a low dose (1 mg kg −1 ). The bacterial community structure was most strongly affected by Ag-rGO at 30 days, but the greatest changes occurred in ZnO-rGO at 60 days. The differences in soil properties could shape bacterial communities to MNPs-rGO exposure. Distance-based redundancy analysis and functional annotation of prokaryotic taxa showed that some bacterial species associated with nitrogen cycling were greatly influenced by Ag-rGO and ZnO-rGO exposure. In sum, Ag-rGO and ZnO-rGO may potentially affect bacterial communities and nitrogen turnover under long-term realistic field exposure. These findings present a perspective on the response of bacterial communities to MNPs-rGO and provide a fundamental basis for estimating the ecological behavior of MNPs-rGO.

Cd 2+ and Pb 2+ are two typical metallic pollutants in food. Therefore, it is of great significance to establish a method which can simultaneously detect them. Here, an electrochemical sensor was established to simultaneously detect Cd 2+ and Pb 2+ in food samples based on sensing electrode prepared by conductive carbon paper, rGO and CoZn·MOF (CP-rGO-CoZn·MOF). Under the optimized conditions, the proposed electrochemical sensor achieves simultaneous detection of Cd 2+ and Pb 2+ low to 0.565 nM (Cd 2+ ) and 0.588 nM (Pb 2+ ), respectively. Further selective experiments and repetitive experiments perform well. Spiked experiments find that the recovery rates of Cd 2+ and Pb 2+ in food samples are between 97.5% to 105.9% and 94.3%–109.6%, indicating the established electrochemical sensor owns a good response to the targets. Besides, relative standard deviations (RSD) of them are no more than 5.817%, showing its potential in practical applications.

The 2D nanomaterial has been widely used in the field of electromagnetic wave absorption because of its high specific surface area and special electrical properties. In this work, three 2D materials were integrated to form a unique ternary composite with Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene as the substrate, RGO as the intercalator with additional components, and CoFe-LDH loaded on the MXene/RGO surface. The interfacial and dipole polarizations were notably enhanced due to the abundant formation of heterogeneous interfaces between the three 2D materials and their corresponding abundant functional groups and defects, and the space between the 2D lamellae enabled multiple reflections of electromagnetic waves. Compared with pure MXene, the MXene/RGO/CoFe-LDH composites exhibited excellent electromagnetic wave absorption performance due to the synergy of multiple loss mechanisms, resulting in the best reflection loss value of −58.9 dB at 13.12 GHz.

BiVO 4 is known for its ability to decompose water under visible light irradiation. However, BiVO 4 overall suffers from rapid recombination of photogenerated carriers, low photochemical conversion efficiency, low specific surface area, poor conductivity, and weak adsorption capacity of dye. These features limited its application in photocatalysis. In this work, ternary Z-scheme g-C 3 N 4 /RGO/BiVO 4 nanocomposites were successfully fabricated by in situ electrostatic adsorption of g-C 3 N 4 sheets on RGO/BiVO 4 surface using hydrothermal and thermal oxidations processes. The ternary Z-scheme g-C 3 N 4 /RGO/BiVO 4 nanocomposites were then tested for photodegradation of Rhodamine B. The introduction of graphene into direct Z-scheme g-C 3 N 4 /BiVO 4 nanocomposites as an electronic accelerator efficiently enhanced the photocatalytic properties. The as-prepared g-C 3 N 4 /RGO/BiVO 4 composites exhibited optimal visible light responses with significantly improved photocatalytic performances toward degradation of Rhodamine B. The degradation efficiency using ternary photocatalyst reached 100% after 20 min of irradiation time. The reaction rate constant was estimated to 1.537, which was almost 29- and 20-folds higher than those of pure g-C 3 N 4 and binary g-C 3 N 4 /BiVO 4 , respectively. The synergistic effect between BiVO 4 , RGO and g-C 3 N 4 yielded g-C 3 N 4 /RGO/BiVO 4 composites with Z-scheme charge transfer mechanism, promoting rapid separation and slow recombination of photogenerated electron–hole pairs with strong photocatalytic activity. Overall, these findings look promising for design of future Z-scheme photocatalysts for environmental degradation of organic dyes.

Hierarchical structured ZnFe2O4@SiO2@RGO core–shell nanocomposites were prepared via a “coating–coating” route, and its structure, composition and electromagnetic properties were characterized. Compared with the binary composites of ZnFe2O4@SiO2, the hierarchical ZnFe2O4@SiO2@RGO ternary composites exhibited enhanced electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorption properties in terms of the effective bandwidth and minimum reflection loss (RL). Furthermore, EMW absorption properties of the prepared samples can be tuned by changing RGO content and thickness of SiO2 layer to reach the best impedance match. The minimum RL of the sample with a thickness of 2.8 mm can reach −43.9 dB at 13.9 GHz, and its effective bandwidth (RL ≤ −10 dB) was up to 6 GHz. Hence, the obtained products can be a new candidate for lightweight EMW absorbing materials.

In this study, a ZnO/NiS@NiO/rGO (ZNNG) composite was characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Compared with simple ZnO, ZNNG exhibited stronger green emissions, but no ultraviolet (UV) emission peak was observed. Through a comprehensive analysis of ultraviolet–visible (UV–vis) absorption spectra, Mott Schottky (MS) plots, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) results, it was proved that the stable green emissions of ZnO and its composites originated from the quenching of electrons between Zn interstitial ( Zn i ) and surface oxygen defects. The introduction of NiS@NiO caused the conduction band (CB) and valence band (VB) of ZnO to change to lower energy states, effectively increasing the absorption intensities of ZnO in the visible light, while introducing numerous oxygen-related defects on the surface of ZnO. Further addition of rGO effectively promoted the migration of electrons from the CB to the Fermi energy (E f ). These effects effectively increased the green emission of ZnO and reduced the UV emission. Finally, a proper mechanism for the near-zero band gap NiS@NiO/rGO that can significantly enhance the green emission of ZnO was proposed.

The design and fabrication of advanced cathode materials with excellent electrochemical properties to match the Zn anode is crucial for the development of aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs). Herein the synthesis of MIL-88B(V)@rGO composites is reported, in which MIL-88B(V) nanorods are anchored on reduced graphene oxide (rGO) sheets, as cathode for ZIBs, where the graphene oxide induces the formation of small-size nanorods instead of typical prism morphology. During the initial charge/discharge process, the cathode undergoes an in situ irreversible transformation from MIL-88B(V) to amorphous V 2 O 5 that acts as active site for the subsequent Zn 2+ insertion/extraction. The hierarchical structure of the composites and the amorphous V 2 O 5 provide abundant channels and active sites for Zn 2+ diffusion and adsorption. The density functional theory calculation reveals that the rGO sheets have two functions, i.e., to improve the conductivity and to reduce the Zn 2+ migration energy barrier. Consequently, the MIL-88B(V)@rGO cathode exhibits an ultrahigh reversible capacity of 479.6 mAh g −1 at 50 mA g −1 and good rate performance of 263.6 mAh g −1 at 5000 mA g −1 , which are superior to metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) cathodes reported in literature. This work may shed a new light to the design and fabrication of MOFs-based cathodes for aqueous ZIBs.

Construction of multi-interface contact step-scheme (S-scheme) photocatalyst is a promising pathway to achieve high-electron transfer efficiency for photocatalytic CO 2 reduction. In this paper, g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets were selected as the main photocatalyst, rod-like CeO 2 (R-CeO 2 ) with unique Ce 4+ →Ce 3+ conversion property and rGO were loaded on the g-C 3 N 4 surface to construct 2D-1D-2D sandwich photocatalyst. The yields of CO and CH 4 were about 63.18 and 32.67 μmol/g after 4 h when the rGO/R-CeO 2 /g-C 3 N 4 was used as catalyst, which were about 4 and 6 times higher than that of pure CN, respectively. Cyclic experiments proved that the composite had excellent photocatalytic and material stability. Photoelectrochemical tests showed that the construction of S-scheme electron transfer model and the introduction of rGO can great enhance the electron transmission and separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs. CO 2 adsorption test identified that the loading of R-CeO 2 and rGO obviously enhanced the CO 2 adsorption ability of pure g-C 3 N 4 . Density functional theory (DFT) calculations used to analyze the electron transfer path and the formation of the build-in electric field at the semiconductor interface. In-situ FTIR and 13 CO 2 element-tracer detection carried out to research the process of CO 2 photoreduction. A possible multi-interface contact S-scheme electron transfer mechanism for enhanced CO 2 photoreduction activity has been discussed.

The development of high-efficiency, recyclable, and inexpensive photocatalysts for water splitting for hydrogen production is of great significance to the application of solar energy. Herein, a series of graphene-decorated polyoxoniobate photocatalysts Nb6/PPy-RGO (Nb6= K7HNb6O19, RGO = reduced graphene oxide, PPy = polypyrrole), with the bridging effect of polypyrrole were prepared through a simple one-step solvothermal method, which is the first example of polyoxoniobate-graphene-based nanocomposites. The as-fabricated photocatalyst showed a photocatalytic H2evolution activity without any co-catalyst. The rate of 1038 µmol g−1in 5 h under optimal condition is almost 43 times higher than that of pure K7HNb6O19·13H2O. The influencing factors for photocatalysts in photocatalytic hydrogen production under simulated sunlight were studied in detail and the feasible mechanism is presented in this paper. These results demonstrate that Nb6O19acts as the main catalyst and electron donor, RGO provides active sites, and PPy acted as an electronic bridge to extend the lifetime of photo-generated carriers, which are crucial factors for photocatalytic H2production.Keywords:polyoxoniobate;Nb6/PPy-RGO composites;electronic bridge;H2production
