As technology continues to advance, multifunctional flexible electronic devices for monitoring human health and managing thermal conditions have garnered considerable attention. Nevertheless, achieving a balance between a wide strain sensing range and high sensitivity remains a considerable challenge. Herein, PDA/PEBA/MWCNTs/rGO (PPMr) sensors were fabricated by vacuum-assisted filtration of ultrasonically mixed multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) loaded on polydopamine-modified PEBA nanofiber membranes. This sensor has a broad range of strain detection capabilities (0–127 % strain), high sensitivity (GF = 42), response/recovery times of 600/500 ms, and over 8000 cycles of stability. At the same time, this sensor also exhibits outstanding photothermal conversion capability (reaching 75.6 °C at 100 mW/cm 2 ), electrothermal conversion capability (up to 82.2 °C at 8 V), and excellent photothermal/electrothermal synergistic conversion capability (reaching 78.9 °C at 100 mW/cm 2 and 4 V). This strain sensor is noteworthy for its outstanding performance, as it can detect body movements across a wide range of strain, such as elbow joint movements, as well as subtle physiological signals like pulse waves. This capability highlights its significant potential for applications in human health monitoring and thermal management.

Degradation of organic pollutants in wastewater is crucial for global environmental health. Semiconductor-based photocatalytic technologies have received widespread attention due to their ability to directly utilize solar energy, produce no secondary pollution, and offer long-lasting functionality. However, current photocatalyst preparation technologies face issues such as complex manufacturing processes, low efficiency, and the need for various additives. Therefore, this work proposes a simple and eco-friendly method to in-situ growth of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) onto magnesium oxide (MgO), forming a MgO@rGO core-shell structured photocatalyst through CO 2 thermal reaction process. After systematic study, the incorporation of rGO onto MgO core greatly extends the light absorption range from ultraviolet (UV) to visible wavelength, enabling substantially enhanced light capture and photoexcited carriers. Additionally, the core-shell heterojunction with a built-in electric field at the interface between MgO and rGO facilitates distinctly the separation and migration of the photogenerated charges. This structure-induced synergistic effect boosts the photocatalytic performance of MgO@rGO by a factor of 1.7, 4.1, 41.8, and 6.4, compared with MgO (stripped), MgO (pure), rGO, and commercially used TiO 2 , respectively. This work provides a simple and effective strategy for designing advanced functional nanocomposites to address environmental problems.

Cadmium (Cd) and zinc (Zn) in seawater enter the human body through the food chain. Combined toxicity tests indicated that high concentrations of Cd(II) and low concentrations of Zn(II) had a synergistic effect on humans. Thus, there is an urgent need to prepare a sensor for rapid and simultaneous detection of Cd(II) and Zn(II) in seawater. Herein, a reduced graphene oxide/carboxylated multi-walled carbon nanotube (rGO/MWCNT-COOH)-modified glassy carbon electrode was prepared in the experiments using the dropping method. The synthesis of various materials achieved the purpose of expanding the surface area, and scanning electron microscopy was used to observe the structure of the composite membrane. Moreover, the large number of functional groups on the surface of the composite membrane can also increase the adsorption of ions. For the determination of trace cadmium (II) and zinc (II) in seawater, the method used was differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). The results show that the peak current, which was obtained in the range of 5–400 μg/L for Cd(II) and Zn(II), has a linear relationship with concentration, corresponding to the detection limits of 0.8 μg/L for Cd(II) and 0.98 μg/L for Zn(II). The modified electrode was used to determine the Cd(II) and Zn(II) content in the coastal seawater of the Maowei Sea, and the recovery rate was between 95.8 and 98.2% for Cd(II) and 96.7~99.4% for Zn(II), which provided a novel approach of detection to define trace Cd(II) and Zn(II) in seawater.

Exploring and designing a high-performance non-noble metal catalyst for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) are crucial for the large-scale application of H 2 by water electrolysis. Here, novel catalysts with NiMo nanoparticles decorated on reduced graphene oxide (NiMo@rGO) synthesized by a two-step hydrothermal method were reported. Physical characterization results showed that the prepared NiMo@rGO-1 had an irregular lamellar structure, and the NiMo nanoparticles were uniformly dispersed on the rGO. NiMo@rGO-1 exhibited outstanding HER performance in an alkaline environment and required only 93 and 180 mV overpotential for HER in 1.0 M KOH solution to obtain current densities of −10 and −50 mA·cm − 2 , respectively. Stability tests showed that NiMo@rGO-1 had a certain operating stability for 32 h. Under the same condition, the performance of NiMo@rGO-1 can be comparable with that of commercial Pt/C catalysts at high current density. The synergistic effect between NiMo particles and lamellate graphene can remarkably promote charge transfer in electrocatalytic reactions. As a result, NiMo@rGO-1 presented the advantages of high intrinsic activity, large specific surface area, and small electrical impedance. The lamellar graphene played a role in dispersion to prevent the aggregation of nanoparticles. The prepared NiMo@rGO-1 can be used in an-ion exchange membrane water electrolysis to produce hydrogen. This study provides a simple preparation method for efficient and low-cost water electrolysis to produce hydrogen in the future.

In this paper, novel photocatalyst Bi 2 S 3 /TiO 2 /RGO composites were successfully fabricated by a facile solvothermal method. During this process, TiO 2 was coupled with Bi 2 S 3 to generate Bi 2 S 3 sensitized TiO 2 nanoparticles, and graphene oxide (GO) was reduced to reduced graphene oxide (RGO), which was uniformly covered with plenty of Bi 2 S 3 and TiO 2 . The as-prepared samples were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), specific surface areas (BET), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), Raman, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), UV–vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV–vis DRS) and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. The results confirmed that Bi 2 S 3 could act as an optical filter, which could be activated under visible light. And the introduction of Bi 2 S 3 could improve the response of TiO 2 nanoparticles for visible light. In addition, the Bi 2 S 3 /TiO 2 in Bi 2 S 3 /TiO 2 /RGO composites had more uniform dispersion on the surface of graphene with less agglomeration in comparison with the Bi 2 S 3 /TiO 2 . Graphene can provide conductive electron channels for separation of the electrons and inhibit the recombination of electrons and holes. Furthermore, the photocatalytic activity of Bi 2 S 3 /TiO 2 /RGO composites was evaluated through the degradation of methylene blue (MB) under visible light irradiation. The Bi 2 S 3 /TiO 2 /RGO composites showed the highest photocatalytic activity among the referred photocatalysts, with about 3-fold increase in photocatalytic efficiency over TiO 2 nanoparticles. The mechanism of high photocatalytic activity was also discussed.

In this work, we proposed a novel strategy for the conversion and storage of photothermal energy. This strategy combined hydrothermally prepared CuS/rGO with commercial epoxy resin adhesives. The light-capturing capability of CuS and fast electron transfer rate of rGO was harnessed to endow the modified resin with photothermal conversion capability. Using an inorganic PCM as the energy-storage medium and melamine foam as its support carrier, a form-stabilized composite phase-change material with a latent heat of phase change of 233.7 J/g and a phase-change temperature of 48.7 °C was obtained. In addition, the pre-prepared MER was coated onto the surface of the CPCM . Its purpose was to utilize the photothermal conversion and waterproof properties of modified resins to store solar energy in the internal phase-change materials, while alleviating the leakage problem during the phase-change process of inorganic salt hydrate phase-change materials in the past. The leakage tests showed that the 1.0 mm thick MER provided excellent protection against leakage, significantly reducing leakage of the liquid phase and moisture escape. The composite phase-change material CPCM/MER demonstrated satisfactory results in photothermal conversion experiments. 2% CuS/rGO addition to CPCM/MER can complete the phase change. The samples also showed good stability in the cycling tests. After 100 cycles of testing, the latent heat of the CPCM only decreased by 5.13%. According to the FT-IR results, the CPCM also possessed chemical stability. In this study, a CPCM/MER was successfully prepared, extending the practical application of traditional inorganic phase-change materials in the field of solar energy storage.

Green water-based paint cannot exhibit antibacterial property. For good antibacterial property, ZnO/reduced graphene oxide (rGO) nanofiller was added. Graphene oxide and ZnO/rGO composite were synthesized. Then, ZnO/rGO/paint composite coating with excellent antibacterial property was prepared. As ZnO content in ZnO/rGO filler is increased, antibacterial property of coating is improved. In fighting against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus , pristine coating shows low antibacterial rates of 0.50% and 0.48%, respectively. When ZnO was added, antibacterial rates of coating were be increased to 49.31% and 41.67%. When ZnO/rGO filler was used, antibacterial rates were increased to 65.46% and 62.17%. At a higher load of ZnO/rGO filler, antibacterial rates reached 93.37% and 83.38%. Friction coefficient of ZnO/rGO/paint composite coating was decreased to 0.53 compared with original coating. At a higher dose of ZnO/rGO filler, friction coefficient was decreased to 0.40. Properties of ZnO/rGO/paint coating meet a national standard for water-based wood coatings for indoor decoration. This composite coating with excellent antibacterial property and wear resistance can be applied in eco-friendly indoor decoration.

In this paper, Pt-PEDOT/reduced graphene oxide (Pt-PEDOT/rGO) nanocomposites were facilely prepared by a simple and cost-effective one-pot method. The obtained nanocomposites were characterized and confirmed by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Raman spectra . As expected, the Pt-PEDOT/rGO nanocomposites modified glassy carbon electrode (Pt-PEDOT/rGO/GCE) exhibited higher charge transfer efficiency and electrocatalytic activity to the oxidation of caffeic acid (CA) in comparison with the bare GCE, rGO and Pt-PEDOT modified electrodes (rGO/GCE and Pt-PEDOT/GCE). Furthermore, the Pt-PEDOT/rGO/GCE showed a wide linear range of 5.0 × 10 −9 to 5.0 × 10 −5 M with a low detection limit of 2.0 × 10 −9 M (S/N = 3) for the determination of CA. More experiments indicated that the Pt-PEDOT/rGO/GCE performed superior reproducibility, selectivity and long-term stability. Finally, the modified electrode was also applied to detect CA in green tea and black tea samples with promising recovery and application prospect.

The application prospects of MgH 2 as a potential solid hydrogen storage material are limited by its stable thermodynamic properties and slow hydrogenation/dehydrogenation kinetics. In this study, a ternary heterogeneous composite material V 2 O 3 -TiO 2 -rGO (V-T-rGO) was synthesized using the ultrasonic hydrothermal method and doped into MgH 2 through ball milling to improve its hydrogen storage performance. The experimental results demonstrated that the MgH 2 + V-T-rGO samples exhibit superior hydrogen storage properties compared with single-doped V 2 O 3 , TiO 2 , rGO or V-T materials. Specifically, it can uptake hydrogen at room temperature, and adsorbs 5.00 wt% H 2 in just 4 min at 150 °C, and releases 5.87 wt% H 2 within 6 min at 325 °C, demonstrating a faster reaction rate and successful hydrogen absorption. Additionally, the hydrogenation/dehydrogenation activation energies of MgH 2 + V-T-rGO samples are measured at 27.1/72.3 kJ·mol −1 , representing a reduction of 51.2/59.2 kJ·mol −1 compared to MgH 2 alone. Mechanistic analysis revealed that the multiphase composite system produced synergistic catalytic effects, providing abundant active sites and hydrogen diffusion channels to enhance the hydrogen storage performance of MgH 2 . This study presents an innovative approach for constructing transition metal oxide heterostructured materials and holds significant reference value for applications in the field of hydrogen storage.

The passivation of lithium metal anodes to mitigate an unstable solid electrolyte interface and parasitic dendrite growth is the key premise for their successful implementation in lithium metal batteries. Herein, aiming to simultaneously reduce the interfacial resistance and to suppress lithium dendrites, we coated lithium metal anodes with two-dimensional (2D) rGO layers prepared via a solvent-evaporation-assisted self-assembly. Upon lithiation/delithiation, the rGO coating cracked into mosaic-like flakes, in between which the interconnected gaps served as the passage for uniform lithium plating/stripping. Half cells composed of a sandwich Cu/Li/rGO electrode vs. Cu foils revealed much improved Li usage and coulombic efficiencies. Through ex situ SEM imaging and XPS depth profiling, a comprehensive view of Li intercalation, deposition, and dendrite suppression on the rGO coating was obtained. As a result of the improved kinetics of Li transportation, excellent electrochemical performances were demonstrated in symmetric gLi‖gLi cells with a stabilized overpotential of only 87.9 mV at 5 mA cm−2 over 600 cycles, and in Li–S batteries with a stabilized capacity of 1200 mA h g−1 at 1C near 1000 cycles.

In recent years, significant progress has been made in the development of supercapacitors (SCs) for high-power applications, including electric vehicles, consumer electronics, military, and industrial uses. One crucial research area focuses on enhancing the electrochemical properties of SCs through the development of superior electrode materials. A composite electrode material (CuS/Cu 2 S/rGO) that combines Cu-sulfur compounds and graphene has been synthesized using the continuous ion layer adsorption (SILAR) method on reduced graphene thin films (rGO). The CuS/Cu 2 S/rGO film SC demonstrates exceptional electrochemical properties, attributed to the synergistic effect of CuS, Cu 2 S, and rGO. At a current density of 0.5 A g −1 , the mass-specific capacitance reaches 355.70 F g −1 , with a high energy density of 49.40 Wh kg −1 and a peak power density of 8511.49 W kg −1 . Even at an increased current density of 5 A g −1 , the mass-specific capacitance remains impressive at 239.62 F g −1 , indicating excellent rate performance. Furthermore, after 1000 constant current charge and discharge cycles, the material maintains a capacity retention rate of 87.13 %, underscoring its robust cycling stability.
