New approaches and practices to improve photocatalytic efficiency of materials for remediation of organic and inorganic pollutant has become a top priority. We have developed a graphene-oxide based ternary composite Ag/TiO 2 /rGO as a green catalyst, and the photocatalytic oxidation and reduction efficiency of the catalyst was thoroughly evaluated for Cr(VI) and tetracycline (TC) remediation in water as potential contaminants. The results suggested that the electronic coupleing system exhibits excellent photocatalytic activity, mainly due to affecting light absorption and higher e − / h + separation efficiency. The photocatalytic activity of the silver-deposited graphene-supported silver and titanium dioxide was 4.3 and 2.5 times for Cr (VI) and TC remediation, respectively. Furthermore, the service life of the photocatalyst was also evaluated within five recycling studies, indicating that the efficiency of the obtained photocatalyst was maintained above 80%. Electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy and the addition of free radical scavengers confirmed that e − act as reducing agents and may be the key (O 2 ·− ) to the degradation process. The photocatalytic mechanism was proposed based on the studies obtained. Green catalysts based on graphene-based ternary composites developed in this work can provide effective and economic remediation at higher scale and offer practical application of photo catalysis technology.

The sintering resistance of supported Cu nanoparticle (NP) catalysts is crucial to their practical application in the dehydrogenation of diethanolamine (DEA). In this paper, co-precipitation, hydrothermal synthesis, and sol–gel condensation are used to form a new support material through chemical bonding between graphene oxide and ZrO2. The composite carriers prepared by the three methods are mixed with copper nitrate and ground using a ball mill. A series of Cu/ZrO2-reduced graphene oxide (RGO) composites were prepared by calcination under nitrogen at 450 °C for 3 h and hydrogen reduction at 250 °C for 4 h. The conversion of DEA to iminodiacetic acid (IDA) reached 96% with the Cu/ZrO2-RGO catalyst prepared by hydrothermal synthesis. The conversion rate of DEA is more than 80% following the reuse of the CZG-2 catalyst for twelve cycles. The various physicochemical characterization techniques show that the Cu/ZrO2-RGO layered and wrinkled nanostructures can improve catalytic stability and suppress the sintering of the supported Cu NPs during the catalytic dehydrogenation of diethanolamine. A synergistic effect between the RGO and the Cu nanoparticles is observed. The Cu nanoparticles with RGO have a better dispersibility, and a new nano-environment is created, which is the key to improving the efficiency of diethanolamine dehydrogenation. These new Cu/ZrO2-RGO catalysts show increased durability compared to commercially produced Cu/ZrO2 catalysts and show promise for practical applications involving diethanolamine dehydrogenation.

In this work, a novel NiCo/ZIF-67/rGO catalyst was prepared via a facile impregnation-reduction method, followed by comprehensive characterization using XRD, SEM, TEM, XPS, and ICP-OES techniques. This catalyst featured a hierarchical porous support consisting of Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework-67 (ZIF-67) with a high specific surface area and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) with considerable electronic conductivity, along with strong synergistic interactions between Ni and Co species as well as between the deposited metals and the carbon in rGO. The NiCo/ZIF-67/rGO catalyst exhibited excellent activity in catalyzing the hydrolysis of NaBH 4 , resulting in a low activation energy ( E a ) of 21.08 kJ mol −1 and a high turnover frequency (TOF) value of 5420 \(mL_{{\textit{H}}_\text{2}}g_\textit{M}^{-1}\min^{-1}\) . The hydrogen generation rate was increased by nearly double after five cyclic experiments, demonstrating the exceptional catalytic durability of NiCo/ZIF-67/rGO. The as-prepared NiCo/ZIF-67/rGO catalyst exhibits the advantages of cost-effectiveness, durability, and superior performance for NaBH 4 hydrolysis, rendering it a promising candidate for industrial applications.

Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) as electrode materials for supercapacitors still suffer from limited actual specific capacities and unsatisfactory cycling performance owing to their poor intrinsic electrical conductivity and insufficient electroactive sites. Herein, oxygen vacancy (Ov)-rich CoAl-LDH nanosheets are attached onto reduced graphene oxide (rGO) nanosheets to form 2D/2D Ov-CoAl-LDH/rGO sheet-on-sheet heterostructures via a facile precipitation-reduction reaction followed by hydrothermal treatment . The introduction of rich Ov defects in CoAl-LDHs enhances the electrical conductivity, while the attachment of Ov-CoAl-LDH nanosheets on the surface of rGO nanosheets not only reduces the aggregation of Ov-CoAl-LDH nanosheets and thus exposes abundant electroactive sites, but also maintains good structural stability. Theory calculations indicate that the Fermi-level difference of two components triggers interfacial charge separation while creating a built-in electric field at the Ov-CoAl-LDH/rGO interface, which favors rapid electron/ion migration and accelerates charge storage kinetics. The optimized Ov-CoAl-LDH/rGO nanocomposites deliver specific capacities of 984 C g −1 at 3 A g −1 and 708 C g −1 at 20 A g −1 and retain an initial capacity of 90 % after 10,000 cycles at 10 A g −1 . These findings showcase a feasible strategy to endow 2D/2D LDHs/graphene heterostructures with enhanced charge storage performance.

The diffusion of lithium ions and sodium ions in the anode materials is the main factor limiting the fast-charging performance of lithium and sodium-ion batteries. Due to the slow diffusion kinetics, taking lithium-ion batteries as an example, lithium ions and electrons accumulate locally in and on the surface of anode materials, especially in the process of fast-charging, resulting in uneven lithiation reaction and enormous transient stress, which leads to poor fast-charging performance. In this work, from the aspect of solving the ion diffusion rate, a capacitive type of energy storage is introduced by designing MoS 2 /rGO composite materials with pinned structures as fast-charging and stable anode materials for lithium-ion batteries and sodium-ion batteries. Combining the high ion conductivity and structural rigidity of the rGO conductive network with a few-layer MoS 2 provides a high ion diffusion rate and capacity. As expected, it can charge to 69 % in 25 min and 44 % in 3.2 min, respectively, providing a high capacity of 214.2 mAh g −1 at 10 A g −1 and a high-capacity retention of 85.31 % after 1, 000 cycles at the current density of 3 A g −1 in sodium-ion batteries. Similarly, the high reversible capacity of 910.5 mAh g −1 is achieved in the lithium-ion batteries, and there is almost no capacity loss after 1, 000 cycles at a high current density of 2 A g −1 . This work may provide a reference for designing more fast-charging anode materials with high capacity.

The hydrophilicity of carbon cloth was improved through pretreatment using an oxidation process resulting in activated carbon cloth with microscopically pronounced grooved cracks. This activated carbon cloth served as a highly hydrophilic substrate suitable for electrode material loading while also possessing attractive electrochemical properties. Polypyrrole/reduced graphene oxide (PPy/rGO) composites were subsequently polymerized and chemically reduced in situ on the pretreated carbon cloth (HCC), introducing nitrogen atoms of different valences into the composite. Contact angle and electrochemical tests demonstrate that the prepared electrode material displayed enhanced hydrophilicity and low impedance. Based on HCC/PPy/rGO, the symmetrical flexible quasi-solid supercapacitor exhibited a high energy density of 0.60 mWh cm −3 at a power density of 6.25 mW cm −3 , as well as a great power density of 62.5 mW cm −3 at 0.34 mWh cm −3 and good flexibility. Moreover, three fabricated supercapacitor devices connected in series illuminated a white LED for about 4 min, demonstrating the potential use of pretreated-carbon cloth/polypyrrole/rGO materials for flexible wearable devices.

The simultaneous degradation of organic pollutants and generation of value-added compounds like ammonia and hydrogen energy has recently gained considerable attention in photocatalysis . The present study deals with successful preparation of novel AgVO 3 nanowire@rGO-tetrahedral Ag 3 PO 4 (110) (AGA) heterojunction and utilized for enhanced generation of NH 3 and H 2 from N-containing antibiotic sulfamethoxazole (SMX) under visible light. The prepared catalyst was well characterized by XRD , SEM, TEM and XPS to confirm the formation of heterojunction . The results indicated that the composite exhibited 546.0 μmol g −1 of hydrogen evolution rate, which is approximately 3.6 (153.6 μmol g −1 ) and 5.1 (108.7 μmol g −1 ) times higher than the pure AgVO 3 and Ag 3 PO 4 respectively after 6 h. Similarly, 38.3 mg L −1 g −1 of NH 3 generation was observed during 6 h of SMX degradation, which is about 1.9 and 2.8 times higher than the pure AgVO 3 (20.1 mg L −1 g −1 ) and Ag 3 PO 4 (13.7 mg L −1 g −1 ) respectively. The formation of heterojunction between AgVO 3 and Ag 3 PO 4 not only promotes the transfer of electron but also prevents the recombination which eventually enhances the catalytic conversion of N-element to NH 3 and for H 2 generation during water splitting. Furthermore, the plausible degradation pathway in SMX was proposed and the results revealed that the SMX was mineralized by the composite further converted to NH 3 and generates H 2 during the degradation process . Thus, our study provides new insights into novel photocatalytic treatment methodologies for simultaneous degradation of SMX to produce NH 3 and H 2 as value-added compounds from antibiotic wastewaters during water treatment process.

This work reports the synthesis of highly dispersed Mn-Co/RGO via a novel light driven approach having attributes of being green, facile and controllable, for the catalytic degradation of methylene blue (MB) in the presence of H 2 O 2 . The prepared catalysts were characterized by TEM, EDS , IR, XRD and XPS techniques. A synergy between RGO and Mn-Co species existed where the former helped in adsorption of MB and stabilization and dispersion of Mn and Co on the surface while the latter improved H 2 O 2 utilization by generating HO , which enhanced the decomposition of MB. It was found that O 2 •− and O 2 •− /HO • were the main radicals in post Mn/RGO and Mn-Co/RGO treatment, respectively. Both O 2 •− and HO • oxidized MB with a faster rate by the former, but its side reaction can hinder effective utilization of H 2 O 2 while the reverse was true for the latter. A 50 mg/L MB was completely decomposed within 15 min using 10 mg of Mn-Co/RGO. Thus the synergistic effect of RGO by adsorption MB and Co species avoiding the side reaction led to enhanced rate of MB decomposition.

In this work, a facile microwave-assisted foaming and thermal imidization treatment method was proposed to fabricate flexible polyimide (PI)/rGO composite foams with anisotropic pore structures . The PI/rGO composite foams (PIF/rGO) were used as the starting derivatives to prepare carbon foams that demonstrated excellent anisotropic thermal insulation and electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding applications. The directional growth of pore structures during the foaming period resulted in the formation of aligned ellipsoidal strip-like pore structure in the horizontal direction (i.e., perpendicular to the pore growth direction), which was attributed to the escape of foaming gases such as tetrahydrofuran , methanol and H 2 O. The homogeneous dispersion of rGO in the PI-derived carbon skeleton endowed corresponding carbon foams with excellent mechanical and thermal stability, high thermal insulation and electrical conductivity (σ) as well as absorption dominated EMI shielding performance. The σ and EMI shielding effectiveness (SE) of carbon foams showed an increasing trend with increasing rGO content. The σ, EMI SE and specific EMI SE of the carbon foams reached up to 33.0 S/m, 49.0 dB and 8792.8 dB/(g/cm 2 ) in the horizontal direction, respectively. Therefore, this work provided a facile strategy to fabricate lightweight and anisotropic pore structure rGO-containing PIFs and carbonized derivatives, which demonstrated promising applications in high-end industrial fields.

The charge carrier separation efficiency and the adsorption capacity of the photocatalyst usually affect the degradation rate of antibiotics. Herein, Cerium-doped leaf-like CdS (Ce-CdS) modified with ultrathin N-doped rGO (N-rGO) composites were successfully constructed (Ce-CdS/N-rGO) to investigate the removal efficiency of tetracycline (TC). X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and photoelectrochemical results revealed that Ce ions doped in CdS acting as the electron capture sites facilitated the interfacial charge transfer. Theoretical calculation (DFT) results indicated that the interfacial effect between Ce-CdS and ultrathin N-rGO promoted the transfer of photogenerated electrons under the synergistic effect between the doping and interface modification strategy. The optimized Ce5-CdS/N-rGO20 composites had the maximum TC removal capability (94.5%) and maintained a stable cycling performance. In addition, the adsorption-driven photocatalytic degradation pathway of TC was studied through mass spectrometry (MS) and in-situ Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy ( in-situ FTIR). This study will provide an effective strategy for the construction of efficient photocatalytic composites for wastewater treatment.

Heterogeneous electrochemical DNA biosensors have attracted huge attention due to their enhanced signal sensitivity, compared to homogeneous biosensors. However, the high cost of probe labeling and the reduced recognition efficiency associated with current heterogeneous electrochemical biosensors confine their potential applications. In the present work, a dual-blocker assisted and dual-label-free heterogeneous electrochemical strategy based on multi-branched hybridization chain reaction (mbHCR) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) was fabricated for ultrasensitive detection of DNA. The target DNA could trigger the mbHCR of two DNA hairpin probes, resulting in the generation of multi-branched long chain of DNA duplexes with bidirectional arms. One direction of the multi-branched arms in the mbHCR products were then bound to the label-free capture probe on the gold electrode through multivalent hybridization with enhanced recognition efficiency. The other direction of multi-branched arms in mbHCR product could adsorb rGO via π-π stacking interactions. Two DNA blockers were ingeniously designed to block the binding of excessive H1-pAT on electrode and to prevent the adsorption of rGO by residual unbound capture probes. As a result, with the electrochemical reporter methylene blue selectively intercalated into the long chain of DNA duplex and absorbed on rGO, a remarkable electrochemical signal rise was observed. Thus, a dual-blocker aided and dual-label-free electrochemical strategy for ultrasensitive DNA detection is readily realized with the merit of cost-effective. The as-developed dual-label-free electrochemical biosensor has great potential to be employed in nucleic acid related medical diagnostics.

Herein, a simple and portable electrochemical sensor based on a reduced graphene oxide/gold nanoparticle/manganese dioxide (rGO/AuNP/MnO2) nanocomposite-modified screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) was constructed by the facile stepwise electrodeposition method and used for electrochemical detection of As(III). The resultant electrode was characterized for its morphological, structural, and electrochemical properties using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), cyclic voltammetry (CV), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). From the morphologic structure, it can be clearly observed that the AuNPs and MnO2alone or their hybrid were densely deposited or entrapped in thin rGO sheets on the porous carbon surface, which may favor the electro-adsorption of As(III) on the modified SPCE. It is interesting that the nanohybrid modification endows the electrode with a significant decrease in charge transfer resistance and an increase in electroactive specific surface area, which dramatically increases the electro-oxidation current of As(III). This improved sensing ability was ascribed to the synergistic effect of gold nanoparticles with excellent electrocatalytic property and reduced graphene oxide with good electrical conductivity, as well as the involvement of manganese dioxide with a strong adsorption property in the electrochemical reduction of As(III). Under optimized conditions, the sensor can detect As(III) via square wave anodic stripping voltammetry (SWASV) with a low limit of detection of 2.4 μg L−1and a linear range of 25–200 μg L−1. The proposed portable sensor shows the advantages of a simple preparation procedure, low cost, good repeatability, and long-term stability. The feasibility of rGO/AuNPs/MnO2/SPCE for detecting As(III) in real water was further verified.Keywords:electrochemical sensor;gold nanoparticles;metal oxides;nanocomposites;reduced graphene oxide;screen printed carbon electrode;arsenic
