Transition metal oxides (TMOs) based compounds are recognized as high-energy anodes in next-generation lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) due to their extremely high theoretical capacity. However, the lower intrinsic conductivity , fast fading cyclic stability and dramatic volume expansion during discharge/charge processes greatly hinder the practical application of TMOs as anodes in LIBs. In this study, we have designed and constructed MoO 3 /ZnCo 2 O 4 QDs@C@rGO/MoO 3 (denoted as GMZCO) sandwich-structured hybrid nanocomposites via an effective route, and have proposed the formation mechanism of this unique nanostructured composite on the basis of the systematic results of the microstructures. Due to the unique sandwich structure and the synergistic enhancement effect of the ZnCo 2 O 4 QDs , α-MoO 3 and rGO, the as-constructed GMZCO exhibits the superior electrochemical performances when used as anode for LIBs. The obtained GMZCO can maintain high capacity of 1281 mAh g −1 at 0.2 A g −1 after 300 cycles, and can deliver as high as specific capacity of 913 mAh g −1 at 1 A g −1 after 500 cycles, revealing the higher capacity and excellent cyclic stability. What deserves to be mentioned most is that GMZCO can keep a capacity of 541 mAh g −1 after 1400 cycles even at higher current density of 3 A g −1 , having outstanding rate capability. This work paves a novel approach for design TMOs with unique microstructures as a promising anode for the high-performances LIBs.

This work studies the antibacterial and anti-corrosion properties of nickel-graphene oxide (Ni-GO) composite coating and nickel-reduced graphene oxide (Ni-rGO) composite coating deposited by magnetic field assisted scanning jet electrodeposition on manganese steel . Agar plate assessment and cell live/dead staining were used to evaluate the antibacterial property of the two types of composite coatings. The Ni-GO and Ni-rGO composite coatings can effectively improve the antibacterial property of the substrate. The Ni-GO composite coating deposited with graphene oxide (GO) concentration of 0.5 g/L showed the most excellent antibacterial ability, and its antibacterial rate against E. coli and S. aureus within 2 h were 100% and 93%, respectively. Potentiodynamic polarization measurements indicated that the protective efficiency of the two types of composite coatings on the manganese steel reaches 99% after being immersed in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution for 7 days. The combined effect of barrier protection from GO-based materials (GO, rGO) and corrosion products effectively inhibits the corrosion behavior of the two types of composite coatings.

Accelerating electron transfer can improve the catalytic performance. MIL-88/Go composites were synthesized by hydrothermal method using the oxygen-containing functional group of graphene oxide (GO) as the MIL-88 unit cell nucleus. Fe 2 O 3 /rGO composites with small particle size were prepared by roasting of MIL-88/GO. It has high degradation efficiency (99%) and good recycling performance for tetracycline hydrochloride (TC-HCl) in photo-Fenton system. The combination of oxygen vacancies produced by roasting MIL-88 and the conductivity of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) improves the rate of electron transfer. The efficient electron transfer promotes the formation of OH and O 2 − and thus improve the catalytic activity.

Functionalized two-dimensional graphene oxide sheets and their inorganic–organic nanohybrids have aroused great interest because of their excellent synergetic effect on metal-based nanocatalyst PdNPs supported on highly hydrophilic quaternized polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (QPOSS) functionalized reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and were successfully constructed as a nanohybrid catalyst for efficient heterogeneous catalytic reactions. Octaammonium POSS (OAPOSS) was first covalently grafted to carboxylated GO nanosheets through an amidation reaction, and then the OAPOSS decorated on rGO nanosheets was quaternized with glycidyltrimethylammonium chloride (GDTMAC) via an epoxide ring-opening reaction to obtain a highly functional hydrophilic QPOSS@rGO hybrid. Finally, the PdNPs were loaded onto QPOSS@rGO nanosheets through an in situ reduction route. The quaternary ammonium groups on QPOSS@rGO can strongly coordinate with PdNPs, making it particularly advantageous for stabilizing PdNPs and preventing the leaching of Pd metals. Compared to the PdNPs@rGO catalyst without modification with hydrophilic QPOSS, the low-dose PdNPs@QPOSS@rGO nanocatalysts exhibited outstanding catalytic efficiency in the reduction of methylene blue and nitrophenols. In addition, the as-designed nanocatalysts also showed high catalytic activity for the Suzuki coupling reaction when utilizing pure water as a green solvent. It was proved that QPOSS and rGO can synergistically catalyze and promote the diffusion of reactants. In particular, the PdNPs@QPOSS@rGO nanohybrid catalyst showed no significant loss of catalytic activity after reusing it five times. Our results demonstrated that highly hydrophilic QPOSS endows the resulting PdNPs@QPOSS@rGO nanohybrid with good dispersibility and stability in water, which remarkably further improves the catalytic activity of the nanocatalyst.

A hybrid material of indium tin-oxide (ITO) wrapped titanium dioxide and reduced graphene oxide (ITO-rGO and TiO2) was prepared using a facile hydrothermal technique. TiO2nanorods were in situ grown on the surface of rGO (rGO and TiO2), and which was then assembled onto ITO substrate layer by layer with formation of a 3D structure. ITO-rGO and TiO2exhibit low charge transfer resistance at the electrode-electrolyte interface and have good photoresponsive ability. Methylene blue (MB) can be effectively adsorbed and enriched onto ITO-rGO and TiO2surface. The adsorption kinetics and thermodynamics of ITO-rGO and TiO2were evaluated, showing that the exothermic and entropy-driven reaction were the main thermodynamic processes, and the Langmuir isotherm was the ideal model for adsorption fitting. Meanwhile, ITO greatly improved degradation of rGO and TiO2because electrons can be collected by ITO before recombination and MB can easily enter into the 3D structure of rGO and TiO2. The highest photodegradation rate of MB reached 93.40% for ITO-rGO and TiO2at pH 9. Additionally, ITO-rGO and TiO2successfully solved the problems of being difficult to recycle and causing secondary pollution of traditional TiO2catalysts. Therefore, ITO-rGO and TiO2may be a potential photocatalyst for degrading organic pollutants in water.Keywords:ITO-rGO and TiO2;methylene blue;photocatalysis;adsorption;mechanisms

As a strong oxidizing pollutant, NO 2 can cause fire or even explosion. People living in atmosphere containing NO 2 for a long time will significantly affects human health. In this work, we developed a Schottky heterojunction sensor modified by g-C 3 N 4 quantum dots (g-C 3 N 4 QDs) and rGO deposited on TiO 2 nanotubes (TNTs) arrays. This sensor showed high response and extremely fast response/recovery time as well as excellent detection of ppb level of NO 2 at room temperature. TNTs were obtained using a one-step anodic oxidation process. TNTs were modified with g-C 3 N 4 QDs and rGO using quasi -CVD method and cyclic voltammetry during in situ electrodeposition, respectively. TNTs/g-C 3 N 4 QDs/rGO Schottky heterojunction sensor exhibited high sensitivity to 10 ppm of NO 2 (response equal to 15982) at room temperature. Below 15 ppb, sensing response also can reach 127. Sensor response was very fast and increased to 15982 in just 2 s when exposed to 10 ppm of NO 2 after which it recovers 90% within 1.16 s. This work clarified the influence of abundant oxygen vacancies (VO · ) in TNTs and photogenerated electrons on TNTs/g-C 3 N 4 QDs/rGO nanostructures as well as their sensing performances. Our experimental details demonstrated that Schottky barrier was established between TNTs and rGO, which was very beneficial for ppb-level NO 2 detection at room temperature.

Graphene as a two-dimensional (2D) nanoplatform is beneficial for assembling a 2D heterojunction photocatalytic system to promote electron transfer in semiconductor composites. Here a BiVO4nanosheets/reduced graphene oxide (RGO) based 2D-2D heterojunction photocatalytic system as well as 0D-2D BiVO4nanoparticles/RGO and 1D-2D BiVO4nanotubes/RGO nanocomposites are fabricated by a feasible solvothermal process. During the synthesis; the growth of BiVO4and the intimate interfacial contact between BiVO4and RGO occur simultaneously. Compared to 0D-2D and 1D-2D heterojunctions, the resulting 2D-2D BiVO4nanosheets/RGO composites yield superior chemical coupling; leading to exhibit higher photocatalytic activity toward the degradation of acetaminophen under visible light irradiation. Photoluminescence (PL) and photocurrent experiments revealed that the apparent electron transfer rate in 2D-2D BiVO4nanosheets/RGO composites is faster than that in 0D-2D BiVO4nanoparticles/RGO composites. The experimental findings presented here clearly demonstrate that the 2D-2D heterojunction interface can highlight the optoelectronic coupling between nanomaterials and promote the electron–hole separation. This study will motivate new developments in dimensionality factors on designing the heterojunction photocatalysts and promote their photodegradation photocatalytic application in environmental issues.Keywords:BiVO4;RGO;visible light;two-dimensional interface;photocatalysis

Long-term accumulation of organophosphate pesticides in environment presents a potential hazard to human and animal health. Towards this, a highly sensitive amperometric AChE-biosensor based on conjugated polymer and Ag-rGO-NH 2 nanocomposite has been successfully developed. First, 4, 7-di (furan-2-yl) benzo thiadiazole (FBThF) was electrochemically polymerized on the electrode surface. Then, Ag-rGO-NH 2 nanocomposite and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) are modified on the polymer membrane surface. In this way, a novel amperometric AChE-biosensor was successfully prepared. The as-prepared biosensor possessed excellent conductivity, catalytic activity , and biocompatibility which were attributed to the synergistic effects of poly(FBThF) and Ag-rGO-NH 2 and provided a hydrophilic surface for AChE adhesion. Under optimized conductions, the linear range was 0.099–9.9 μg L −1 with a regression coefficient of 0.9947 for malathion , 0.0206–2.06 μg L −1 with a regression coefficient of 0.9969 for trichlorfon . The detection limit is calculated to be about 0.032 μg L −1 for malathion and 0.001 μg L −1 for trichlorfon (S/N = 3). Moreover, the biosensor exhibited acceptable reproducibility and long-term stability, which makes it possible to provide a novel and promising tool for analysis of organophosphate pesticides.

The exploitation of new types of non-metal surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates with high performances and the exploration of enhancement mechanisms are of vital importance for the development of the SERS technology due to its potential prospects in both the spectroscopy and material fields. Here, a magnetic SERS-active substrate hybridized by reduced graphene oxide (rGO), TiO2 and Fe3O4 (rGO–TiO2–Fe3O4) was successfully prepared via the combination of a simple sol-hydrothermal method and a co-precipitation method. The as-synthesized rGO–TiO2–Fe3O4 nanohybrid not only exhibited outstanding SERS detection ability with high sensitivity and spectral reproducibility, but also could be recycled with high stability based on its self-cleaning capacity and magnetism. Exploiting these features, it could be used for the SERS detection of 4-mercaptobenzoic acid (4-MBA), 4-mercaptopyridine (4-MPy), 6-mercaptopurine monohydrate (6-MP), 1,2-di(4-pyridyl) ethylene (BPE) and p-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) with the detection limits of 1.0 × 10−10, 1.0 × 10−8, 1.0 × 10−10, 1.0 × 10−10 and 1.0 × 10−9 mol L−1, respectively; these are the highest SERS sensitivity values among those reported for semiconductor substrates and are even lower than that of noble metal substrates. Meanwhile, an SERS enhancement mechanism from the synergistic effects of the rGO, TiO2 and Fe3O4 components was proposed to explain the observed considerable SERS enhancement on rGO–TiO2–Fe3O4.

Compared to the traditional type II heterojunction photocatalyst (Cu2O/BiVO4), bulk BiVO4 was modified in this study by reduced graphene oxide (RGO) with a Schottky structure to optimize the coupling interface of BiVO4. Cu2O nanoparticles were then grown in situ on the RGO/BiVO4 surface to yield a heterojunction structure with an internal electric field, allowing movement of photogenerated electrons and holes in opposite directions to participate in redox reactions. The as-obtained optimized Cu2O/RGO/BiVO4 material exhibited excellent photocatalytic degradation performance towards organic pollutants. The reaction rate constant of rhodamine B (RhB) was estimated as 0.0324 min−1, which was almost 5.94, 5.15 and 1.94-fold higher than those of bare BiVO4, 4%RGO/BiVO4 and 5%Cu2O/BiVO4, respectively. Moreover, the optimized material displayed good activity in the degradation of the colorless organic contaminant tetracycline hydrochloride (TC). The reaction rate constant was estimated as 0.0219 min−1, which was almost 1.6-, 1.4- and 1.63-fold higher than those of bare BiVO4, 4%RGO/BiVO4 and 5%Cu2O/BiVO4, respectively. The hole and superoxide radical worked as active species for degradation of organic matter. Such a significant increase in degradation efficiencies was attributed not only to the formation of a heterojunction structure but also to rapid electron transfer between interfaces.

In this work, multilayer networks lanthanum-doped V 2 O 5 · n H 2 O@OAB (noted as La-VOH@OAB) binder-free thin film positive electrode has been first successfully synthesized via a simple and economical sol-gel and drop-coating methods. Benefiting from its unique architecture and the favorable synergetic contributions for rare earth metal ions of La 3+ and hydrophilic carbon of OAB, after the condition optimization, the 20%La-VOH@OAB-4 exhibits an excellent electrochemical performance with an ultrahigh specific capacitance of 612 F g −1 at a current density of 1 A g −1 , good rate capability (81.1%, the current density increases tenfold) and outstanding cycling stability (90.4% capacitance retention over 2000 cycles). In addition, flexible Fe 2 O 3 @rGO binder-free thin film negative electrode prepared with the similarly facile strategy demonstrates a high specific capacitance of 366 F g −1 due to Fe 2 O 3 nanoparticles tightly anchored on the rGO surface. The assembled 20%La-VOH@OAB-4//Fe 2 O 3 @rGO ASCs device within a voltage window of 1.7 V delivers a relatively high specific energy density of 56.3 Wh kg −1 at a power density of 849.9 W kg −1 with exceptional cycling stability (81.3% capacitance retention after 5000 cycles), moreover, two ASCs devices in parallel can light up a red LED for 3 min, demonstrating its potential in practical applications. This work provides a certain reference for the fabrication of environmentally friendly thin film electrodes for developing high efficient energy storage systems.

Tetravalent Si materials (SiO 2 and transition metal silicates) are receiving tremendous attentions for lithium storage, whereas a troublesome problem is how to improve the content of active Si. This work reports a novel method to boost their lithium storage capabilities by using highly-dispersed Co element in the form of nanofilm-like Co 2 SiO 4 /SiO 2 powder on the surface of reduced graphene oxide (RGO) that promotes the electronic diffusion and accommodates the volume changes. As a result, the Co 2 SiO 4 /SiO 2 /RGO exhibits over 20 times higher reversible capacity and better rate performance than the SiO 2 /RGO counterpart. In comparison, the Co 2 SiO 4 /SiO 2 /RGO shows the highest reversible capacity (1382 mAh g −1 at 500 mA g −1 ) and longest life span (500 cycles) in all known silicates-based materials and higher power/energy density than both of commercial graphite and Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 materials. Ex-situ X-ray photoelectron spectra and electrochemical tests at different voltage windows are conducted to illustrate the reason for the significantly improved performances. It demonstrates that tetravalent Si is gradually activated to lower-valence form by highly-dispersed Co generated with cycling. This observation provides new evidence for the electrochemical catalytic mechanism in transition metal silicates for lithium storage.
