In this work, novel branched palladium–gold (PdAu) bimetallic nanowires supported on graphene (PdAu/graphene) were fabricated at relatively low temperatures for the first time by a one-pot co-reduction method with the aid of poly(diallyldimethyl-ammonium chloride). The structural characteristics of PdAu/graphene were confirmed by X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy and element mapping observations. The electrochemical properties of the PdAu/graphene were characterised by cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry (CA) in the formic acid oxidation reaction. Compared with a commercial Pd/C catalyst, the PdAu/graphene catalyst prepared in this work exhibited enhanced electrocatalytic activity including a higher oxidation current density, enhanced CO tolerance, and a more negative onset potential. Moreover, CA analyses demonstrated that PdAu/graphene shows higher stability than the Pd/C catalyst. The PdAu/graphene catalyst exhibited higher activity and strong poisoning resistance, which could be attributed to its special branched structure from PdAu nanowires.

Dispersion of Graphene in water is conducive to their practical applications as lubricating additive in water-based fluids due to their safety, low cost and environmental-friendliness. But owing to its hydrophobicity , it is difficult to achieve stable aqueous graphene suspension. Here, we use the Toluene-2,4-diisocyanate as bridging agent between hydrophilic Poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG) and ethanolamine to prepare the amino-containing PEG (PEG-NH 2 ), followed by covalently grafting PEG-NH 2 onto the surface of carboxylaed graphene (G-COOH) nanosheets to synthesize the PEGlated graphene (PEG-G) via facile amidation under mild conditions. The physical, chemical properties of product were characterized by Fourier transformed infrared spectra (FTIR), Raman spectra , X-ray photo electron spectroscopy (XPS) and so on. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning probe microscope (SPM) were utilized to observed the morphology of G-COOH and PEG-G. The frictional properties of PEG-G as nanoadditive of water-based lubricant were characterized by UMT-3 tribometer, following with analyzes on wear surfaces by 3D laser scanning confocal microscopy . Based on the results of characterization, the PEG-G was prepared successfully and the dispersion shows superior friction-reducing and anti-wear properties owing to the formation of fluid adhesive film and carbon protective film, especially the concentration of PEG-G in water is 0.05 wt%.

Strontium ferrites/graphene (SrFe12O19/G) composites were synthesized by a facile one-step surfactant assisted hydrothermal method. The structure, magnetic properties and electromagnetic parameters of the as-prepared composites were evaluated. Uniform SrFe12O19 nanoparticles with a diameter of 60–70 nm were well distributed on the graphene. The formation of SrFe12O19 nanoparticles and the reduction of graphene oxide were accomplished simultaneously. The re-stacking of graphene sheets and the aggregation of SrFe12O19 nanoparticles were inhibited. The as-obtained composites exhibited better absorbing properties than the pristine SrFe12O19 particles due to the synergistic effect of SrFe12O19 and graphene. The minimum reflection loss (RL) of SrFe12O19/G composites with the thickness of 3 mm reached −34.8 dB at 13.6 GHz, and the effective absorption bandwidth (RL < −10 dB) was 5.7 GHz. However, the minimum RL of the SrFe12O19 particles only reached −13.5 dB, and the effective absorption bandwidth was 4.6 GHz. A possible mechanism for the enhanced absorbing performance was proposed.

This article gives a detailed characterization to investigate the tribological behaviors of PI/FG nanocomposite films under different friction conditions including both of dry sliding and seawater lubrication . Firstly, the chloroform-treated FG was proved to be stably dispersed in the PI matrix . Subsequently, mechanical properties, thermal stability and tribological properties of PI/FG nanocomposite films were greatly improved. Finally, analysis of the reasons for the significant improvement in wear resistance from the viewpoint of thermal, mechanical properties and the evolution of friction products.

Tin (Sn) is considered to be an ideal candidate for the anode of sodium ion batteries. However, the design of Sn-based electrodes with maintained long-term stability still remains challenging due to their huge volume expansion (≈420%) and easy pulverization during cycling. Herein, a facile and versatile strategy for the synthesis of nitrogen-doped graphene quantum dot (GQD) edge-anchored Sn nanodots as the pillars into reduced graphene oxide blocks (NGQD/Sn-NG) for ultrafast and ultrastable sodium-ion storage is reported. Sn nanodots (2–5 nm) anchored at the edges of “octopus-like” GQDs via covalent Sn O C/Sn N C bonds function as the pillars that ensure fast Na-ion/electron transport across the graphene blocks. Moreover, the chemical and spatial (layered structure) confinements not only suppress Sn aggregation, but also function as physical barriers for buffering volume change upon sodiation/desodiation. Consequently, the NGQD/Sn-NG with high structural stability exhibits excellent rate performance (555 mAh g −1 at 0.1 A g −1 and 198 mAh g −1 at 10 A g −1 ) and ultra-long cycling stability (184 mAh g −1 remaining even after 2000 cycles at 5 A g −1 ). The confinement-induced synthesis together with remarkable electrochemical performances should shed light on the practical application of highly attractive tin-based anodes for next generation rechargeable sodium batteries.

Flexible silicone materials have excellent elastic properties and can maintain excellent structural stability under high-intensity repeated deformation. They are ideal materials for preparing piezoresistive flexible sensors. However, traditional silicone materials exhibit strong insulation properties. The solid block structure is also not conducive to improving sensitivity. Inspired by the irregular hole structure of Taihu Lake stone, this paper prepared a porous silica gel skeleton (rGO/CTAB/SG) based on reduced graphene oxide film coating, which was equipped with flexible interdigital electrodes to achieve electrical signal derivation. The “honeycomb” shaped sensing module prepared in this way achieves an extremely wide elastic deformation range (20-200%). In the pressure feedback layer, the rGO film is evenly coated on the SG surface, which greatly improves the device conductivity and sensing performance (high sensitivities of 89.4 kPa − 1 and 25.4 kPa − 1 are achieved within 0-30.2 kPa and 30.2–42 kPa, ultra-high durability under more than 22,000 load-unload cycles.) Numerical simulation analysis results confirmed that the structure of the flexible substrate SG prepared by this method maintained well when extreme deformation occurred, and no fracture or stress concentration occurred. As an elastic sensor, after being integrated with a microprocessor, it can easily monitor and analyze human body movement in real time. It has huge potential in areas such as daily training and health monitoring of athletes.

Graphical Nitrogen-doped graphene nanoshells supporting palladium nanoparticles (Pd/N-GNS) have been developed as a superior catalyst for the N -allylation reaction. Experimental results and DFT calculations reveal strong metal–support interactions between the pyridinic N and palladium species, which significantly boost the catalytic efficiency and stability of the catalyst. In this study, nitrogen-doped graphene nanoshells (N-GNS) were developed to support palladium nanoparticles (Pd/N-GNS) as an efficient and recyclable catalyst for the N -allylation reaction. N-GNS was synthesized through a facile hard-template method by using petroleum asphalt, followed by nitrogen doping by thermal annealing with urea, the contents and species of which could be altered by the calcination temperature. Palladium nanoparticles (Pd NPs) with an average diameter of 3.3 nm were homogeneously deposited onto the N-GNS support through a mild solvent-growth approach. The Pd/N-GNS exhibited a superior activity towards the N -allylation reaction, 6-fold higher than that of the pristine graphene nanoshells supporting the palladium catalyst. The Pd/N-GNS could be recycled several times without activity deterioration and metal leaching. The catalytic activity showed a linear correlation relationship with the pyridinic N content. Experimental and theoretical studies reveal strong metal–support interactions between the pyridinic N and palladium species, which can downsize the Pd NPs, modulate the electronic properties, and promote the adsorption of reactant, thereby significantly boosting the catalytic efficiency and stability for the N -allylation process. The present work could help unravel the roles of nitrogen-doped carbon supports and provides a feasible strategy to rationally design superior palladium catalysts for chemical transformations.

To achieve the dispersion of the hydrophobic graphene (GR), the amphiphilic alginate caprylamide (ACA) was synthesized to fabricate electroactive Nafion/Mb–ACA–GR/CILE for the accurate determination of trichloroacetic acid (TCA). SEM observation, FT-IR and UV-Vis spectroscopic analysis indicated that ACA could tightly immobilize Mb and GR on the electrode surface by constructing biointerfaces, which not only provided Mb a suitable microenvironment to maintain its biological activity, but also shortened the distances between the active centers of Mb with carbon ionic liquid electrode (CILE), thus promoting the electron transfer rate. The electrochemical characterization of Nafion/Mb–ACA–GR/CILE showed that the direct electron transfer of Mb was realized on the modified electrode, which was attributed to the high electrical conductivity and excellent electrocatalytic activity of GR and good biocompatibility of ACA. Moreover, Nafion/Mb–ACA–GR/CILE exhibited good electrocatalytic activity towards TCA with the linear range from 2.5 to 47.3 mmol L−1 and lower KMapp value of 8.3 mmol L−1. Moreover, the modified electrode also revealed good stability, reproducibility and accurate detection of tap-water, exhibiting great potential for the applications as the third-generation electrochemical biosensors.

Aluminum battery offers a new possibility for low cost and large-scale stationary storage of electricity because it can be made with cheap materials and exhibits high theoretical mass specific capacity and power density. Among many cathodic materials, graphite/graphene may be one of the most promising cathode materials for aluminum-ion battery. A suitable three-dimensional structure of the cathode is an important factor for the high performance of battery. In this paper, a binder-free cathode is prepared by dropcasting small ultrasonicated graphite flakes (u-GF) on carbon fiber cloth (CFC) which provides a three-dimensional network skeleton for the new cathode. Al|EMImCl-1.3AlCl 3 |u-GF@CFC battery exhibits a high discharge specific capacity of ~140 mAh g −1 at 100 mA g −1 . The battery has good rate performance and cycling stability: the capacity still exceeds 100 mAh g −1 at 600 mA g −1 with a high coulomb efficiency of 98% and maintains 60 mAh g −1 at 3000 mA g −1 over 300 cycles.

The narrow indirect bandgap of Si hinders the full absorption and utilization of the solar light. Energy band engineering to the Si based photovoltaic devices is essential to address this problem. Here we report the fabrication of ZnSe nanoribbon (ZnSeNR)/Si nanowire (SiNW) p–n heterojunction arrays by directly growing or simply drop-casting the p-type ZnSeNRs on highly aligned n-type SiNW arrays. Phosphorus (P) was used as dopant to achieve robust p-type doping in the ZnSe nanostructures with a hole concentration as high as 6.5 × 1018 cm−3. Thanks to the matched bandgap and the light trapping arising from the one-dimensional (1D) array structure, the heterojunction arrays exhibited improved light absorption, particularly in the blue/UV wavelength range. Moreover, by taking advantage of the ohmic contact between graphene and p-ZnSeNR, heterojunction array solar cells with graphene transparent electrode were fabricated, giving rise to a power conversion efficiency of ∼0.78% under AM 1.5G illumination. It was found that the surface passivation to the SiNW array played an important role in determining the device performance; an efficiency up to 2.27% was obtained after surface modification with methyl groups. Our results demonstrate the heterojunction arrays, together with the graphene transparent electrodes, could be promising candidates for high-performance and low-cost photovoltaic applications.

An amphiphilic amino resorcinarene (T) was modified onto the surface of graphene oxide (GO) through covalent bond forces and non-covalent bond forces to prepare GO–T. The water-soluble graphene–T (GN–T) composite was prepared by the reduction of GO–T. Then, pre-prepared platinum nanoparticles (PtNPs) and different sized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) could self-assemble onto the surface of GN–T through the plentiful amido groups of T to obtain GN–T–AuNPs and GN–T–PtNPs hybrid materials. It was verified that the AuNPs and PtNPs could be uniformly scattered on GN and the amount of AuNPs and PtNPs modified on GN could be adjusted by changing the weight ratio of T/GO. GN-T-PtNPs and GN-T-AuNPs composites showed the characteristics of being dispersible, stable and recyclable in water. Electrochemical results obviously revealed that GN–T–AuNPs and GN–T–PtNPs composites exhibited outstanding electrocatalytic properties.

The silicon material is the most promising candidate for developing new-generation lithium-ion batteries with high energy and power output. However, there remains a significant challenge due to poor electrical conductivity and pulverization of the silicon based anode during cycles. Aiming to solve these problems, in this work we fabricate a novel 3D composite architecture made of a Si@SiOx core–shell nanowire array grown on a 3D graphitic foam (Si CNW–3D GF) substrate by a well-designed multiple-step approach. The prepared Si CNW–3D GF composite shows the integrated advantages for high-performance lithium ion batteries, including its light weight, open macroporosity, high conductivity, high Si NW loading, excellent flexibility as well as SiOx buffer layers. As a result, the Si CNW–3D GF composite exhibits excellent performance such as high reversible lithium storage capacity (3603 mA h g−1 at a current density of 840 mA g−1), excellent cycling performance (up to 100 cycles) and superior rate capability (2299 mA h g−1 at 4200 mA g−1 and 1206 mA h g−1 at 8400 mA g−1), which is 2 times that of the Si CNW electrode where Si CNWs were grown directly on a stainless steel current collector without the presence of 3D GF.
