Cadmium (Cd) emissions have a negative impact on both human health and the environment. Although nano zero-valent iron (nZVI) offers a lot of potential for water pollution treatment, it has been constrained by its instability and ease of aggregation. For the elimination of Cd(II) from aqueous solution, nZVI/MCM supported nZVI (nZVI/MCM-41/rGO) was designed to improve its dispersion and stability. It had a rough, porous structure with apparent Fe (0) crystallinity and slight rGO crystallinity. On the surface of nZVI/MCM-41/rGO, several oxygen-containing groups were detected. The specific surface area was 15.94 cm 2 /g, and the pore diameter was concentrated at 23.82 nm. The best performance was occurred at pH 6 with an adsorbent dosage of 2 g/L, and a maximum adsorption capacity of 31 mg/g was achieved after 600 min. Cd(II) removal process was well fitted with second-order kinetic, Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm. The thermodynamic parameter was also analyzed and proved that it was an endothermic (ΔH° > 0) and spontaneous (ΔG° < 0) progress. During adsorption, the crystal type and functional groups of nZVI/MCM-41/rGO did not change, but Fe (0) was oxidized.

In this study, flake-like reduced graphene oxide (rGO) was integrated with filamentous carbon nanotube (CNT) in different ways to prepare CNT-rGO composite membranes with three distinctive types of nanostructures . These membranes were further assessed at bench scale to determine the relationship between nanocomposite structure and membrane performance , including clean water permeability, removal efficiencies for pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCP), and resistance to organic fouling. Among the three types of prepared membranes, the membrane with CNT evenly distributed in the rGO layer outperformed other membranes in terms of PPCP removal efficiencies (76–100%), clean water permeability (4454 L m −2 h −1 bar −1 ), and antifouling property. Further membrane characterization using scanning electron microscopy and other analytical techniques revealed that the outstanding performance of this membrane resulted from the open CNT-rGO nanostructure that was beneficial for water permeation, PPCP adsorption, and membrane fouling reduction. Overall, these results demonstrated that, under the condition of similar compositions and surface properties, the nanostructures of CNT-rGO membranes significantly influenced membrane performance. Therefore, it is feasible to manipulate the nanostructures of CNT-rGO composite membranes to achieve high clean membrane permeability, outstanding antifouling property, and efficient contaminant removal .

Metal sulfides with high capacity, morphology-controlled, and facile synthesis are considered as potential anodes for Na-ion batteries. However, the conductivity and structural stability of electrode materials are still hampered by its inherent low conductivity and obvious volume changes during cycling. Herein, Cu 7.2 S 4 nanoparticles anchored on reduced graphene oxide (Cu 7.2 S 4 /RGO) are successfully prepared by solvothermal and thermal processes. The product, Cu 7.2 S 4 /RGO-10, not only features optimized the amount of RGO , but also delivers a large reversible capacity (314.4 mAh g −1 at 2 A g −1 ), good cycling stability (with a capacity fading of 0.11% per cycle from 2nd to 400th) and excellent rate capability (209 mAh g −1 at a high current density of 20 A g −1 ), making it the promising anode material for SIBs . Kinetics analysis clarifies that the high ion diffusion coefficient and the pseudo-capacitance contribution are important reasons for the superior performance. As expected, sodium-ion full cells (Cu 7.2 S 4 /RGO//Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 ) also show good cycling stability.

Graphite carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 ) has emerged as a promising photocatalyst for visible-light-driven applications due to its suitable band structure. However, the rapid recombination of photogenerated electron-hole pairs in bulk g-C 3 N 4 significantly hinders its photocatalytic efficiency. In this study, we report the fabrication of a ternary g-C 3 N 4 /MoS 2 /rGO (CMG) nanocomposite via in situ photoreduction-induced exfoliation. The introduction of MoS 2 and rGO not only facilitates the exfoliation of g-C 3 N 4 into ultrathin nanosheet, thereby exposing more active sites, but also enables the formation of tightly coupled heterojunctions that promote charge separation and transfer. Photoluminescence (PL) analyses confirm the suppressed recombination of charge carriers, indicative of enhanced charge dynamics within the heterojunction between MoS 2 , rGO and g-C 3 N 4 . Among the synthesized materials, the optimized CMG-175 composite exhibits remarkable photocatalytic activity, achieving a 95.7% degradation rate of Rhodamine B (RhB) within 30 min under visible light irradiation, which is 23.6-fold enhancement compared to pristine g-C 3 N 4 . Mechanistic studies reveal that photogenerated holes and superoxide radicals are the predominant reactive species driving the degradation process. This work highlights a rational design strategy for constructing high-performance g-C 3 N 4 -based heterojunction photocatalysts and provides valuable insight into the synergistic interactions among MoS 2 , rGO, and g-C 3 N 4 for efficient organic pollutant removal.

In the realm of glucose detection, nickel-based and copper-based nanocomposites have garnered significant attention due to their exceptional catalytic performance and high sensitivity. This study realized linear detection across dual concentration ranges in alkaline media by in situ growing Ni/Cu-BTC spherical nanocatalysts on reduced graphene oxide (rGO). From 350 μM to 2.95 mM, with a low detection limit (LOD L ) of 21.7 μM (S/N = 3) and a sensitivity (S L ) of 40 nA mM −1 cm −2 ; from 2.95 mM to 9.45 mM, the high-concentration detection limit (LOD H ) is 1.1 mM (S/N = 3), with an improved sensitivity (S H ) of 165.7 nA mM −1 cm −2 . The response time (t) is under 2 s. Additionally, the sensor demonstrated robust interference resistance, excellent stability (%RSD = 3.57 %), repeatability (%RSD = 2.27 %), and reproducibility (%RSD = 2.34 %). In real-world sample testing, this sensor measured glucose concentrations in plasma from healthy individuals both on an empty stomach and half an hour after eating, with a relative standard deviation range of 0.94 %–2.33 %. These results suggest that the rGO-Ni/Cu-BTC composite is a promising enzyme-free electrochemical sensing material for glucose detection

Managing oily wastewater under harsh conditions poses a significant challenge in environmental protection. Conventional membranes are often ineffective in treating oily wastewater under complex environmental conditions and typically fail to achieve complete oil–water separation. This work reports the preparation of a reduced graphene oxide (rGO)/zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-8) @ polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) fiber membrane by in-situ growth of ZIF-8 on the rGO-coated PPS fiber membrane. The incorporation of the rGO increases the roughness of the fibrous membrane and enhances the bond between the polymer membrane and the ZIF-8 layer, as the oxygen-containing groups of rGO can interact with the Zn 2+ of the ZIF-8 precursor, facilitating the preferential growth of ZIF-8 crystals on the rGO surface. The resulting rGO/ZIF-8@PPS membrane exhibits underwater superoleophobic and under-oil superhydrophilic properties, endowing it with switchable oil-water separation capabilities (oil-passing water-blocking or water-passing oil-blocking). During the oil (chloroform)/water separation process, it achieves high efficiency (99.96 %) and flux (27,176 L m −2 h −1 ). After 10 separation cycles using either water or oil as the permeating phase, the membrane maintains a high filtration flux (20,500 L m⁻² h⁻¹) and separation efficiency (99.97 %). Additionally, it can efficiently separate a range of oil/water mixtures under different acidic and alkaline conditions, retaining excellent separation efficiency and flux even after 10 cycles. This composite fibrous membrane provides a novel approach for treating large-scale oily wastewater in harsh environments.

Heterostructure and phase engineering are effective method to tune the electronic structure of MoS 2 , which can activate and boost its intrinsic catalytic activity. Herein, the theoretical calculations reveal that the free energy of H∗ adsorption (ΔG H∗ ) for Mo 2 C (−0.65 eV) is lower than MoS 2 (2.05 eV), which is favorable for hydrogen adsorption. Inspired by the theoretical predictions, we develop a facile strategy to prepare nanostructured Mo 2 C/MoS 2 dispersed on reduced graphene oxide (rGO) via a hydrothermal preparation and carburization reaction. Since the Mo 2 C/MoS 2 -rGO nanostructures with great deal of both MoS 2 and Mo 2 C edges by heterostructure and phase engineering, which can induce massive active sites for HER on the surface of rGO, the intimate interfacial coupling effect between Mo 2 C and MoS 2 can effectively improve the charge transfer rate. The Mo 2 C/MoS 2 -rGO catalyst exhibits exceptional HER properties, delivering a high turnover frequency (TOF) of 0.209 s −1 at an overpotential of 200 mV in 0.1 M KOH. This work may open a new window for designing NPM electrocatalysts with highly efficient HER property based on earth-abundant materials.

In this work, PVDF-HFP-based piezoelectric composite films incorporating MgO and rGO nanofillers were fabricated via a facile phase-separation method. The influences of filler composition and loading amount on their piezocatalytic and antibacterial performances were systematically investigated. MgO@rGO/PVDF-HFP film (4 wt % of MgO and 4 wt % of rGO) exhibited the best piezocatalytic activity, achieving rapid degradation on RhB, MO, and MB dyes with high efficiencies of 95.88%, 91.42%, and 98.15%, respectively. The dyes were not only decolorized but also further mineralized into inorganic carbon. The composite film also demonstrated excellent antibacterial performance, reaching 100% inhibition against E. coli and S. aureus upon ultrasonication. The superior catalytic behavior is attributed to the formation of the MgO@rGO heterojunction, which optimizes the energy band for the redox reaction, thereby promoting the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Under ultrasonic excitation, the MgO@rGO/PVDF-HFP film produced substantially higher ·O2–, ·OH, and H2O2 levels than the other films, and ROS-trapping experiments confirmed ·OH and electrons as the primary active species. These enhancements arise from efficient charge transfer across the MgO@rGO interface and chemically induced polarization within the PVDF-HFP matrix, which together strengthen the piezoelectric response. This study demonstrates that constructing heterojunction nanofillers in flexible polymers is an effective strategy to enhance piezocatalysis for environmental purification and antimicrobial applications.

The development of ORR catalysts that combine high activity with low cost is essential for advancing the practical implementation of related technologies. In this work, an ORR catalyst Co 2 Pc 2 (EP) 4 /RGO was successfully synthesized via a facile π-π self-assembly approach, where spherical binuclear metallophthalocyanine (Co 2 Pc 2 (EP) 4 ) was loaded onto the surface of reduced graphene oxide (RGO). The structural and morphological characteristics of Co 2 Pc 2 (EP) 4 /RGO were systematically investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Electrochemical performance tests showed that the onset potential ( E 0 ) of Co 2 Pc 2 (EP) 4 /RGO was comparable to that of commercial Pt/C, while the half-wave potential (E 1/2 ) of Co 2 Pc 2 (EP) 4 /RGO exhibited a positive shift of 130 mV compared to that of pure Co 2 Pc 2 (EP) 4 . The electrocatalytic activity of Co 2 Pc 2 (EP) 4 / RGO dramatically enhanced because of π-π interactions between Co 2 Pc 2 (EP) 4 and RGO, which promoted the oxygen molecules concentration around the active sites. The high oxygen molecules concentration is conducive to form an intermediate O 2 ads - Co 2 Pc 2 (EP) 4 @RGO to decrease the activation energy of the *OOH dissociation step in a four-electron ORR process and the oxygen molecules could be reduced more easily. This study offers a new direction for the design of oxygen reduction reaction catalysts.

In-situ growth of Ti-MOF@rGO improves dispersion, reduces agglomeration, and facilitates electron transport. • 0.3–400 μM linear range, 0.114 μM LOD (S/N=3), selective vs UA/AA, stable/reproducible. • Synergistic Ti-MOF@rGO boosts DA adsorption and electron transfer via 2e - /2H + redox. Electrochemical detection of dopamine (DA) is critically important for the diagnosis and monitoring of neurological disorders. In this study, we present a novel composite material, Ti-MOF@rGO, synthesized in-situ through the integration of titanium-based metal-organic frameworks (Ti-MOFs) with reduced graphene oxide (rGO). This hybrid material effectively combines the abundant redox-active sites of Ti-MOF with the excellent electrical conductivity and large specific surface area of rGO, thereby facilitating efficient charge transfer and enhanced DA adsorption. The Ti-MOF@10%rGO-modified glassy carbon electrode demonstrated outstanding electrocatalytic performance for DA oxidation, exhibiting a wide linear detection range of 0.3–400 μM and a low detection limit of 0.114 μM (S/N = 3). The sensor exhibited high selectivity against common interferents such as uric acid and ascorbic acid, along with excellent repeatability, reproducibility, and cycling stability. This work presents a promising strategy for the rational design of MOF-based composites and offers a robust platform for ultrasensitive and selective electrochemical biosensing applications.

A drop-coating and VC-immersion reduction method for preparing ultrathin rGO coating on Al foil. • rGO-coated Al foil current collectors enhance the electrochemical performance of LIBs. • Thickness–defect synergy influences the performance enhancement of rGO coating on CCs. Carbon-coated aluminum has emerged as a promising current collector (CC) for lithium batteries, offering significant advantages such as mitigating aluminum foil corrosion, reducing interfacial electron transfer resistance, and enhancing long-term cycling stability and rate performance. In this work, an ultrathin reduced graphene oxide (rGO) coating was fabricated on aluminum foil through a facile binder-free drop-coating and Vitamin C-immersion reduction method. By tuning the GO loading amount, a series of rGO-coated CCs with different coating thicknesses was obtained and evaluated in LiMn 2 O 4 (LMO) batteries under 4.5 V. The results show that electrochemical performance is not determined by coating thickness alone, but by the synergistic effects of coating thickness and defect density. Among samples, the CCs with rGO coating of less than 5 nm thickness exhibit the best rate performance and durability, retaining 85.2% capacity after 500 cycles at 1C (148 mAh·g −1 ), far surpassing pure Al CCs (73.2%). Post-cycling analyses indicate that the ultrathin rGO coating effectively stabilizes the interfacial environment and mitigates corrosion-related surface degradation during cycling. These findings not only advance our understanding of the role of carbon coatings in mitigating degradation mechanisms but also pave the way for the development of more efficient and durable energy storage systems.

TT-COF/RGO three-dimensional porous structure improves electronic conductivity and stability. • Electrochemical signals are amplified through the electrodeposition of silver nanoparticles. • MIPs achieve highly selective and specific capture of BPA. • A linear range of 0.25–500 nM and a detection limit 0.09 nM. Herein, we developed an electrochemical sensor based on molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) for the sensitive detection of bisphenol A (BPA) in food samples. The sensing platform was constructed based on ternary AgNPs/TT-COF/RGO hybrid architecture. Subsequently, a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) film was electrodeposited onto the modified electrode using o -phenylenediamine ( o -PD) as the functional monomer and BPA as the template molecule. By integrating the high surface area of RGO, the readily accessible binding sites of TT-COF, and the efficient electron-transfer capability of AgNPs, the ternary AgNPs/TT-COF/RGO hybrid architecture achieves highly sensitive BPA detection. Under optimized conditions, the sensor exhibited a wide linear range of 0.25–500 nM and a low detection limit of 0.09 nM. With its excellent selectivity and sensitivity, the proposed sensor serves as a reliable platform for accurate BPA detection in complex food matrices. We propose an electrochemical sensor based on a MIP/AgNPs/TT-COF/RGO composite for highly selective detection of BPA in complex food samples. The sensor features a tightly integrated composite of RGO and TT-COF, which possesses ordered channels and an electron-rich surface, forming a three-dimensional porous conductive framework that significantly enhances electron transfer efficiency. AgNPs are then electrodeposited onto this framework, leveraging their localized surface plasmon resonance effect and catalytic activity to further amplify the electrochemical response signal at the interface. Finally, the incorporation of MIP enables specific recognition of BPA. Following systematic optimization, the sensor exhibits a broad linear range (0.25–500 nM) and low detection limit (0.09 nM), along with excellent selectivity, reproducibility, and stability.
