Black coatings benefit from low reflectance or high light absorption are utilized in multifarious optical applications. Due to their unique three-dimensional nanostructure and π-band optical transitions, vertical graphene (VG) has drawn great attention to the field of black coatings. However, how the morphology of VGs affects reflectance has not been comprehensively disclosed yet. In addition, the morphology of the substrate for VG growth also affects the absorption properties. Here, we report a nano-and micro-engineered VG/Ni structure based on VG and laser-modified nickel foil, which possesses omnidirectional low reflectance of ∼0.25% over the visible range. A larger spacing of graphene nanowalls is more conducive to the formation of light traps and improves the absorption property. Besides, the surface of nickel substrate by laser irradiation presents a “cauliflower-like” microstructure, which further enhances light-trapping ability.

Black phosphorus (BP), a superior two-dimensional (2D) semiconductor, has attracted much attention due to its unique properties. The graphene (GR)-BP hybrid was synthesized through one pot chemical vapor transport (CVT) approach. The characterization results indicated that P atom was successfully incorporated into GR by the formation of P-C bond. Remarkably, the newly-synthesized GR-BP represented high photocatalytic activity towards 2-chlorophenol (2-CP) degradation, due to the high efficiency of charge separation and transformation caused by the direct band gap of BP and carrier mobility of GR. The removal efficiency for 2-CP reached up to 87.08% within visible light irradiation for 180 min ( λ > 420 nm). The degradation rate of GR-BP hybrid for 2-CP was approximately 7.29-fold than that of BP within 30 min. In addition, the little increasing of the peak for P-O bond in GR-BP hybrid was observed after being exposed in air for 15 days, meant that the stability of BP was significantly enhanced. It was caused by the decreasing of the oxidation sites in BP due to the formation of P-C bond in hybrid. In brief, our synthetic method for GR-BP not only provides a novel route for the improvement of the stability of BP, but also constitutes an insight into the promising practical application of BP in the photocatalysis field.

Summary To make better use of solar energy, lauric acid/expanded graphite (LA/EG) composite phase change materials (PCMs) were synthesized to collect and store solar energy as latent heat thermal energy. The results of thermal characteristics show that when the mass fraction of EG is 5%, 10%, and 15%, the latent heat of LA/EG is 164.5, 156.9, and 148.0 J/g, and the thermal conductivity is 2.73, 7.98, and 10.54 W/(m·K). Leakage test shows that LA/EG PCMs with EG mass fraction of 10% and 15% are form stable after phase change. One thousand thermal cycles prove good thermal reliability of LA/EG. TG analysis indicates LA/EG PCMs have good thermal stability within operating temperature range. The Ultraviolet-visible spectra reveal that the absorbance of LA/EG composite PCMs would increase as the mass fraction of EG increases. Photothermal conversion experiment results indicate that the photothermal conversion efficiency of LA/EG composite PCMs increases as the mass fraction of EG increases, and the efficiency can reach 95% when the mass fraction of EG is 15%. Moreover, it was also found that the process of photothermal conversion can be accelerated with stronger illumination intensity or smaller heat transfer size. All the results show that the prepared LA/EG PCMs can convert solar energy into thermal energy and store it in the form of latent heat at the same time, which indicates it has promising prospect in the application of solar energy conversion and storage.

The MoS 2 /g-C 3 N 4 heterojunction composite (marked as MoS 2 /g-C 3 N 4 -H) was successfully prepared via calcining the melamine coated MoS 2 nano-sphere, where the thin g-C 3 N 4 nano-sheets were tightly grown on the surface of MoS 2 nano-sphere to form MoS 2 inlaying in g-C 3 N 4 heterostructure. The detailed charge transfer mechanism was discussed by combining theoretical calculation and experiments, in which the intrinsic cause of photo-generated charge separation and transfer was determined as the directional built-in electric field driven by different Fermi levels of MoS 2 and g-C 3 N 4 . Comparatively, the enhanced photo-catalytic performance and stability of the sample were assessed by degrading the Rhodamine (RhB) and reducing the Dichromate (Cr 6+ ) solutions under the irradiation of the simulated sunlight, which could be attributed to the widened spectral absorption range and improved electron-hole separation rate. Based on above results, the photo-catalytic mechanism involving redox reactions was also clearly proposed.

A series of composite aerogels with different precursor mass ratios were prepared from graphene oxide (GO) and chitosan (CS) by conducting the crosslinking step after lyophilization, the method of which was recently found beneficial to enhance the adsorptive properties of aerogels . The composite aerogels were then employed for the adsorption of methyl orange (MO) and methylene blue (MB) from water, and the one prepared at GO:CS= 1:2 (w/w) was selected as the optimal compromising the adsorption and mechanical properties. The maximum adsorption amounts of MO and MB were calculated to be 543.4 and 110.9 mg/g at 25 °C. Especially, the effects of pH on adsorption of MO and MB in both single and binary systems were investigated in detail. The aerogel possessed pH-responsive feature for single dye adsorption, tending to adsorb MO at low pH while to adsorb MB at high pH. In the binary system, the pH-responsive feature remained and selective adsorption was observed at low initial dye concentration. In contrast, synergistic adsorption occurred instead at high initial concentration, and MB and MO could be efficiently removed simultaneously in the whole pH range of 3–11.

A novel light “on–off” photoelectrochemical sensing for the sensitive determination of hydroquinone was developed based on the porphyrin-functionalized Au nanoparticles on graphene (porphyrin/AuNPs/graphene). Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were firstly modified onto graphene sheets using NaBH 4 as reductant and the porphyrin/AuNPs/graphene nanocomposites were then synthesized by self-assembly decoration of sulfhydryl porphyrin on AuNPs modified graphene sheets by S–Au bond. The porphyrin/AuNPs/graphene nanocomposites were characterized by transmission electron microscopy , X-ray photoelectron , and ultraviolet–visible absorption spectroscopies . The nanocomposites showed good dispersion in water and on indium tin oxide (ITO) surface. The resulting porphyrin/AuNPs/graphene modified ITO electrode showed good photoelectrochemical behavior toward the oxidation of hydroquinone (HQ) at 0 V under white light illumination. The proposed photoelectrochemical method could detect hydroquinone with a wide linear response ranging from 20 to 240 nM ( R =0.9914). The detection limit was 4.6 nM for HQ ( S / N =3). Thus, the nanocomposites would be expected to be a novel photoactive material for photoelectrochemical biosensing.

A simple, efficient and low-cost method to synthesize zirconia nanopowders dispersed with graphene by wet ball milling was reported in this paper. The raw material for ball milling is cheap graphite powder rather than expensive graphene. Graphite powders were exfoliated into graphene nanosheets (GNSs) in the process of ball milling, as a result of strong shear forces and moderate impact forces between graphite powders, milling balls, and ZrO 2 nanoparticles . The mixed powders were milled for 3, 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 h, respectively. Moreover, the morphology, composition and structure of the mixed powders milled were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy , Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy , and field emission transmission electron microscopy . Results showed that the graphite powders were exfoliated effectively, and the GNSs were dispersed uniformly in the zirconia simultaneously. The presence of zirconia nanoparticles significantly improved the efficiency of ball milling exfoliation.

Tetracycline (TC), a major pollutant in water, has an adverse effect on ecosystem and human health. Thus, it is urgent to remove but still remains a challenging. In this work, a new adsorbent of MnO 2 decorated on sodium hypochlorite treated expanded graphite (MnO 2 /TEG) was developed by an in situ hydrothermal method, which exhibited a highly removal rate of 99.2% to pharmaceutical wastewater treated by flocculation. The structure and morphology of the adsorbent was studied by detailed physical characterization. Meanwhile, the main influencing factors on the adsorption behavior such as pH value, concentration, temperature of the solution, adsorption time, metal oxide species and MnO 2 loading amount were also investigated in detail. It was found that the electrostatic adsorption between Mn 4+ in MnO 2 /TEG and dimethylamino groups in TC molecules played an important role during the adsorption process. These excellent properties proved that the novel composite could be applied to remove TC residues in pharmaceutical wastewater.

Reduced graphene oxide (RGO) wrapped metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) derived cobalt doped porous carbon polyhedrons synthesized via a carbonization process, are for the first time used for sulfur immobilizers (RGO/C–Co-S) as cathodes for high performance lithium-sulfur (Li–S) batteries. The RGO/C–Co–S cathode exhibits greatly improved electrochemical performance, showing excellent specific capacity of 949 mAh g −1 at 300th cycle at a current density 0.3 A g −1 , displaying enhanced rate capability with specific capacity of 772, 704 and 606 mAh g −1 at current density of 0.5, 1 and 2 A g −1 , respectively. The synergetic effect of MOFs-derived porous carbon, homogeneously distributed Co nanoparticles and RGO nanosheets simultaneously contributes to the confinement of sulfur species. The presence of abundant mesopores and micropores is conducive to immobilize large amounts of S species. The homogenously inlaid ultrafine Co nanoparticles can further immobilize sulfur by chemical interactions between Co and S/polysulfides. The RGO nanosheets tightly wrapped on carbon hosts act as barrier layers to prevent polysulfides from diffusing out of the matrix, further suppressing shuttle effect. The porous structure and the RGO can effectively alleviate the volume changes resulted from charge–discharge process. This design strategy can be inspiring for MOF-derived materials in energy storage applications .

Nanostructure of ordered polyaniline-graphene (PANI-rGO PMAS ) hybrid nanomaterials is assembled based on poly(2-methoxyaniline-5-sulfonic acid) (PMAS) functionalized reduced graphene oxide (rGO PMAS ) nanosheets. The presence of PMAS not only improves dispersibility of reduced graphene oxide nanosheets, but also plays a key role for heterogeneous nucleation of polyaniline (PANI) nanorods . The formation mechanism of ordered PANI-rGO PMAS hybrid nanomaterials was studied in details by using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry (UV–vis). The conductivity of PANI-rGO PMAS hybrid with 17 wt% rGO PMAS is as high as 4480 S/m, compared with 2.93 S/m for pure PANI. The cyclic voltammetry tests indicate that, PANI-rGO PMAS containing 2 wt% rGO PMAS possesses fast response to redox reactions and excellent reversible stability. It has a high specific capacitance of 385 F g −1 at the scan rate of 10 mV s −1 with potential ranges from −0.2 to 0.8 V. This ordered polyaniline-graphene hybrid has potential applications for flexible supercapacitors, sensors, batteries, electromagnetic materials and thermoelectric materials, etc.

Graphene oxide (GO)-based nanocomposite films via facile and appropriate self-assembly methods have demonstrated many potential applications in wide fields. This study demonstrates a facile and clean route to prepare graphene oxide-dye composite films using Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) technique at room temperature. By electrostatic interaction between cationic dye molecules and negatively charged GO sheets as well as π-π interactions, GO-dye composite LB films were formed spontaneously. As a soft platform for dye molecules, GO sheets induce dye molecules to self-assemble and form highly ordered structures containing H-aggregates and/or J-aggregates. The morphological characterization results show the formation of GO-dye composite films with smooth and dense surfaces. And the spectral results reveal that dye molecules stack in well-organized aggregates on the surface of GO sheets corresponding to monomers in bulk solution. The present research work about GO-dye composite films by LB method may provide new clues to prepare organized composite films and demonstrate potential applications in many fields.

Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have gained more and more interest for grid-level energy storage applications compared with current lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). In this paper, well-uniform and dispersed spindle-shaped NiCo 2 O 4 particles were synthesized by solvothermal method, and then graphene-encapsulated NiCo 2 O 4 (NiCo 2 O 4 @G) was formed core-shell nanostructures , which greatly enhanced the electronic and ionic (electro-active) conduction and also effectively buffering to accommodate the strain. Benefit from its structure feature, the prepared NiCo 2 O 4 @G core-shell nanostructures composite shows good cycling with a capacity of up to ∼400 mAh g −1 (100 mA g −1 ) in 100 cycles for NIBs anode. The facile synthesis process and excellent SIBs behaviors in this paper are expected to be extended in developing other anode materials in battery system.
