A porous graphene (PG) bionanocomposite of PG, gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and anti-indole-3-acetic acid (anti-IAA) antibody for sensitive and label-free amperometric immunoassay of IAA was reported. A PG film was produced by a pre-reduction/electrochemical reduction process on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) and then a homogeneous AuNPs layer electrodeposition on the PG film. The anti-IAA antibody was immobilized onto the AuNPs through electrostatic adsorption and covalent conjugation. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Raman spectroscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), cyclic voltammetry (CV), elecro-chemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), ultraviolet visible spectroscopy (UV-vis) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) were used to characterize the PG film and the stepwise modification of the immunosensor. The electrochemical immunosensor exhibited a wide linear range from 2 × 10−11 to 2 × 10−8 g mL−1 with a detection limit of 0.016 ng mL−1 (S/N = 3) and showed significant linearity R2 = 0.9970. In addition, the proposed immunosensor showed acceptable selectivity and has been applied to the determination of IAA in the extract samples of several plant seeds with acceptable relative derivation (%) ranging from −5.25% to 4.24% between the immunosensor and high performance liquid chromatography. The proposed chemical pre-reduction and electro-reduction guided protocol can be extended to the preparation of many other functionalized PG nanocomposite films for wide applications.

The ion removal capacity of carbon based capacitive deionization (CDI) is limited by the double-layer mechanism. Replacing one electrode of the conventional carbon-based symmetric CDI with a battery-like ion insertion material to obtain hybrid capacitive deionization (HCDI) can significantly improve the adsorption capacity . Various ion insertion materials have been adopted for HCDI, however, how to optimize the performance of the HCDI system by matching the two electrodes with different ions removal mechanism remains challenging. In this work, a HCDI desalination cell was demonstrated by using NaTi 2 (PO 4 ) 3 /reduced graphene oxide composites (NTP-rGO-700) as the cathode and activated carbon (AC) as the anode. Based on the mass balance strategy of electrodes and the electrochemical behavior of hybrid capacitors with different AC:NTP-rGO-700 mass ratios, the HCDI desalination cell was assembled with the optimal AC:NTP-rGO-700 mass ratio of 2:1. At an operating voltage of 1.6 V and a current density of 125 mA·g −1 , the specific adsorption capacity (SAC) of the HCDI cell can reach 51 mg·g −1 with an average salt adsorption rate (ASAR) of 2 mg·g −1 ·min −1 , and the energy consumption (E m ) is 136.53 kJ·mol −1 . This work provides an efficient approach for developing high performance HCDI cell.

In this work, a simple and highly sensitive electrochemical method was developed to detect luteolin based on thio-β-cyclodextrin functionalized graphene/gold nanoparticles modified glassy carbon electrode (SH-β-CD-GNs/AuNPs/GCE). The peak currents of luteolin on the SH-β-CD-GNs/AuNPs/GCE can be greatly enhanced compared to the SH-β-CD-GNs/GCE and the bare GCE. It suggests that the nanocomposite not only shows the excellent electrical properties of GNs and AuNPs but also exhibits higher enrichment ability of cyclodextrins via the host-guest interaction between cyclodextrin and luteolin . At the SH-β-CD-GNs/AuNPs/GCE, the peak currents increased linearly with the concentration of luteolin in the range of 10.0 pM to 10.0 μM. The detection limit was estimated to be 3.3 pM (S/N = 3), which was more sensitive or comparable with the previous electrochemical sensors for luteolin detection. The analytical performance of this sensor has been evaluated for the detection of luteolin in human serum with satisfactory results. Furthermore, the method might open up a new possibility by using the nanohybrids to monitor other flavonoids which can form host–guest complexes with cyclodextrins.

Chemically integrated hybrid quantum dots ZnCo 2 O 4 /reduced graphene oxide (QDs ZCO/rGO) sheets nanocomposites are synthesized through polyol processes. rGO sheets grow and interweave to form basic skeletons. Ultrafine ZCO particles with a size of around 3.66 nm grow and embed on both sides of the rGO sheets, and the rGO sheets restrain the reunion of ZCO nanoparticles . The existence of rGO sheets and ZCO nanoparticles can engender the mutual synergistic effects so that hybrid QDs ZCO/rGO electrodes exhibit the excellent electrochemical properties . Owing to this special nanoparticles-on-sheets structure, the hybrid QDs ZCO/rGO electrodes exhibit an excellent initial discharge capacity for rechargeable lithium-ion batteries (1325.9 mAh g −1 at the current density of 200 mA g −1 ), high rate stability (532.3/566.1 mAh g −1 at 4000 mA g −1 ) and outstanding electrochemical cyclic stability (657.6/668.2 mAh g −1 at 2000 mA g −1 after 2000 cycles with a capacity retention of 68.6%). For full-cells, high initial reversible discharging capacity (646 mAh g −1 at 200 mA g −1 ) and good cyclic stability (514 mAh g −1 at 200 mA g −1 after 100 cycles) are obtained. The superior performance of the as-prepared electrodes is ascribed to the advantage of nano-sized particles. With the successful synthesis of hybrid QDs ZCO/rGO nanocomposites, the facile synthetic route and unique growth of nanostructuring method can be extended to high electrochemical performance electrodes for commercial lithium-ion batteries.

Nickel sulfides decorated reduced graphene oxide (rGO) has been produced by co-reducing Ni 2+ and graphene oxide (GO), and is subsequently ball milled with Mg nanoparticles (NPs) produced by hydrogen plasma metal reaction (HPMR). The nickel sulfides of about 800 nm completely in situ change to MgS, Mg 2 Ni and Ni multiple catalysts after first hydrogenation/dehydrogenation process at 673 K. The Mg-5wt%NiS/rGO nanocomposite shows the highest hydrogen desorption kinetics and capacity properties, and the catalytic effect order of the additives is NiS/rGO, NiS and rGO. At 573 K, the Mg-NiS/rGO nanocomposite can quickly desorb 3.7 wt% H 2 in 10 min and 4.5 wt% H 2 in 60 min. The apparent hydrogen absorption and desorption activation energies of the Mg-5wt%NiS/rGO nanocomposite are decreased to 44.47 and 63.02 kJ mol −1 , smaller than those of the Mg-5wt%rGO and Mg-5wt%NiS samples. The best hydrogen desorption properties of the Mg-5wt%NiS/rGO nanocomposite can be explained by the synergistic catalytic effects of the highly dispersed MgS, Mg 2 Ni and Ni catalysts on the rGO sheets, and the more nucleation sites between the catalysts, rGO sheets and Mg matrix.

The epoxy nanocomposites with Fe 3 O 4 modified graphene oxide (Fe 3 O 4 /GO) were used to influence the micro-cracks resistance of carbon fiber reinforced epoxy (CF/EP) laminate at 77 K. Fe 3 O 4 /GO with good paramagnetic properties were prepared by co-precipitation method and used to modify epoxy for cryogenic applications. Fe 3 O 4 /GO modified CF/EP laminates were also prepared through vacuum-assisted resin transfer molding (VARTM). The results show that the Fe 3 O 4 /GO can effectively improve the mechanical properties of epoxy (EP) matrix at 77 K and reduce the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of EP matrix. It also can obviously improve the micro-cracks resistance of CF/EP composites at 77 K. Compared to neat EP, the CTE of Fe 3 O 4 /GO modified EP composite is decreased 51.6%. Compared to CF/EP composite, the micro-cracks density of Fe 3 O 4 /GO modified CF/EP composite at 77 K is decreased 60.0%.

The reactive and stable catalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction are highly desirable for low temperature fuel cells. The commercial oxygen reduction reaction electrocatalysts generally reply on noble metal based nanomaterials, which suffer from inherent cost and selectivity issues. At present, it still remains challenge for designing efficient non-noble metal-based oxygen reduction reaction electrocatalysts. Herein, we successfully synthesize Co nanoparticles supported on three-dimensionally N-doped holey graphene aerogels hybrids by the high-temperature calcination of the graphene aerogels-polyallylamine-Co II hybrids. The component optimized hybrids show the excellent electrocatalytic activity for oxygen reduction reaction in alkaline media, which is comparable to commercial Pt/C electrocatalyst. Meanwhile, the hybrids also show eminent tolerance for CO and methanol, attributing to their excellent oxygen reduction reaction selectivity. The three-dimensionally interconnected structure of graphene aerogels, N-doping, uniform dispersion and high crystallinity of Co nanoparticles, and holey structure of graphene contribute to the striking oxygen reduction reaction activity of hybrids.

Lithium–sulfur battery is amongst the most promising next-generation energy storage technology owing to their high theoretical capacity and energy density . Nevertheless, the notorious shuttle effect of lithium polysulfides (LiPSs) seriously impedes its practical applications. Here, we report an all-CVD approach to realize the direct growth of ReS 2 @N-doped graphene (NG) heterostructure , which serves as an ultralight high-performance interlayer for elevated LiPS regulation via easy transfer onto the commercial separator. In contrast to the traditional interlayers constructed via vacuum filtration of nanostructured materials that inevitably increase the thickness and weight of the separator, our all-CVD-enabled ReS 2 @NG film possesses an area of 15 mm × 100 mm, a thickness of ~0.5 μm and a negligible areal weight of 80–90 μg cm −2 . Benefiting from the two-dimensional (2D) vertically-erected nanostructure , adsorptive ReS 2 -conductive NG interface, and favorable electrical conductivity , thus-derived ReS 2 @NG interlayer readily enhances reaction kinetics for LiPS conversion and boosts the reutilization of trapped LiPS whilst guaranteeing smooth transportation of lithium ions . Accordingly, an initial discharge capacity of 854 mAh g −1 with an average capacity decay of 0.064% per cycle after 800 cycles can be harvested at 2.0 C. Even at a high sulfur loading of 6.4 mg cm −2 , an initial areal capacity of 6.1 mAh cm −2 can be gained, which still retains 5.8 mAh cm −2 after 40 cycles at 0.1 C. This work is anticipated to shed light upon the construction of CVD-enabled versatile 2D heterostructures for enriching the interlayer design with multifunctionality and cost-effectiveness.

A nano-carbon composite, consisting of a graphene aerogel-carbon nanotube (CNT) film, is constructed by coating a strong and flexible CNT film onto the surface of a porous graphene aerogel core. The prepared gradient composite, ultralight and strong, can carry objects more than 15,000 times its own weight, exhibiting impressive compression resistance. Compared to the original graphene aerogel , the composite exhibits 8–9-fold increased values in its elastic modulus and compressive strength at a strain of 20% and an approximately 10-fold increase in electrical conductivities in the axial direction . In addition, the elastic recovery ability after compressive deformation and the ability to preserve liquid are also improved.

The practical application of lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries is impeded by the shuttle effect of intermediate polysulfides and the inherent sluggish kinetics. Herein, Mo 2 C nanocatalysts anchoring on holey graphene scaffold (Mo 2 C@HGr) is explored as a lightweight and ultrathin modified separator to conquer the above issues. The artificially customized holes on holey graphene sheets facilitate ionic transfer and electrolyte penetration, and further enhance the sulfur utilization under lean electrolyte conditions. The experimental results together with theoretic calculation demonstrate the favourable chemical adsorption ability of Mo 2 C sites that blocking the diffusion of LiPSs. Abundant triple-phase interfaces among Mo 2 C nanomediators, holey graphene and electrolyte boost the conversion kinetics of the intercepted LiPSs. As a result, the cell with Mo 2 C@HGr modified separator shows superior rate capability (836 mAh g −1 ) even at 5 C current with a negligible Mo 2 C@HGr loading of 0.08 mg cm −2 . Furthermore, ultrahigh areal capacity of 5.9 mAh cm −2 is still attained with high sulfur loading of 6 mg cm −2 under lean electrolyte operation (E/S = 5.6 µL mg −1 ). This design concept can be extended to other graphene based multifunctional nanocomposite toward the development of more practical Li-S batteries.

Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) on flexible plastic substrates usually suffer from a slower electron diffusion rate and insufficient surface area due to no sintering process . Therefore, the conversion efficiency (ƞ) of such flexible DSSCs is normally below 6%. Here, the highly flexible DSSCs with enhanced performance are fabricated at room temperature, employing 3D graphene decorated nanocrystalline TiO 2 films (3DGT) as anode on plastic substrates. Owing to the enhanced charge transportation and increased surface area from 3D conductive graphene skeleton, the 13 μm-thick 3DGT-0.85 (0.85 wt% 3D graphene plus TiO 2 nanoparticles) anode achieves a power conversion efficiency of 6.41%, which is 56% higher than pristine TiO 2 based anode. This efficiency is among the highest values for the previously reported TiO 2 photoanodes on plastic substrates.

N,N -dimethylamino-4′-N′-methylstilbazolium 2,4,6-trimethylbenzenesulfonate (DSTMS)-graphene ex-situ and in-situ composite films with 2% concentration of graphene were first prepared and systematically investigated. The crystallinity of DSTMS-based composite films were confirmed by XRD analysis, and the functional groups of composite films can be obtained by FT-IR. Optical absorptions were recorded using UV–Vis-NIR spectral analysis, and the band gap and extinction coefficient of the films were calculated. The thermal stability of the composite films were analyzed by TG/DSC. The pressure sensitive resistance test showed that the pressure sensitive signal of the composite films were significantly increased after graphene added, while the signal of DSTMS film eventually disappears. This work expands the application of organic nonlinear crystal DSTMS in optics and electricity by doping graphene.
