Reduced graphene oxide@ceria nanocomposite-coated polymer microspheres as a highly active photocatalyst
摘要： Herein we report a facile two-step synthetic strategy for fabricating the ternary polystyrene/reduced graphene oxide/ceria (PS/RGO@CeO2) nanocomposite particles for the first time through the self-assembly of the RGO on the surface of PS microsphere (PS/RGO) and then the attachment of CeO2 nanoparticles (NPs) onto the as-prepared PS/RGO nanocomposite particles. Scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis have been employed to characterize the morphology and composition of the as-prepared samples. The size and mass loading of resulting CeO2 NPs on the PS/RGO nanocomposite particles are easily tunable. Furthermore, the photocatalytic performance of as-prepared ternary nanocomposite particles towards the degradation of methylene blue is investigated. Notably, the PS/RGO@CeO2 nanocomposite particles have high photocatalytic activity due to the synergistic effect between the CeO2 NPs and RGO in such a unique structure, and moreover, they also exhibit high stability in a recyclable manner. Therefore, it can be expected that our ternary nanocomposite particles are an attractive photocatalyst candidate for various photocatalytic applications.

Photocatalytic decontamination of phenol and petrochemical wastewater through ZnO/TiO <sub/>2</sub> decorated on reduced graphene oxide nanocomposite: influential operating factors, mechanism, and electrical energy consumption
摘要： ZnO/TiO2 anchored on a reduced graphene oxide (rGO) ternary nanocomposite heterojunction was synthesized via the multi-step method including hydrothermal, solvothermal and sol–gel methods. XRD, Raman, FESEM, EDX, Dot Mapping EDS, BET, FTIR, UV-VIS, TGA, and EIS techniques were utilized for characterizing as-synthesized catalysts. The XRD and Raman data proved the formation of anatase phase TiO2 and wurtzite phase ZnO in the prepared samples. Further, the UV-Vis spectrum confirmed that the band gap value of ZnO/TiO2 diminished on introduction of graphene oxide. Photocatalytic performance of the fabricated catalysts was investigated by decontamination of phenol in aqueous solutions. The effect of different operational factors such as pH, catalyst dosage, phenol concentration, and light illumination was investigated to find the optimum decontamination conditions. According to the results, complete degradation of phenol was achieved at pH = 4, catalyst dosage of 0.6 g L?1, light intensity of 150 W, and phenol initial concentration of 60 ppm at 160 min under visible light illumination. With the addition of graphene oxide to the composite, a significant increase was detected in the photocatalytic performance due to the higher available surface area and lower electron/hole recombination rate. In addition, the scavenging experiments revealed that the ?OH is responsible for the degradation of phenol during the reaction. The degradation mechanism, economic performance, mineralization, and recyclability were also investigated. Kinetic studies confirmed that photocatalytic degradation process followed the pseudo-first-order kinetic model. A case of real wastewater treatment was used to examine the performance of the catalyst for real case studies.

Reduced Graphene Oxide/TiO2 Nanocomposite: From Synthesis to Characterization for Efficient Visible Light Photocatalytic Applications
摘要： In this study, a green and facile thermal reduction of graphene oxide using an eco-friendly system of D-(+)-glucose and NH4OH for the preparation of reduced graphene oxide was described. The obtained reduced graphene oxide dispersion was characterized by SEM, Dynamic Light Scattering, Raman and X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy. TiO2 nanoparticles and reduced graphene oxide nanocomposites were successively prepared and used in the preparation of heterogeneous photocatalysts that were characterized by Atomic Force Microscopy and Photoluminescence Spectroscopy and subsequently tested as visible light photocatalysts for the photodegradation of Alizarin Red S in water as target pollutant. Obtained results of photocatalytic tests regarding the visible light photocatalytic degradation of Alizarin Red S demonstrated that the use of reduced graphene oxide in combination with TiO2 led to a significant improvement for both adsorption of Alizarin Red S on the catalyst surface and photodegradation efficiencies when compared to those obtained with not doped TiO2.

Vibrational and photoluminescence properties of polydiphenylamine doped with silicotungstic acid heteropolyanions and their composites with reduced graphene oxide
摘要： In this work, the influence of silicotungstic acid concentration on the diphenylamine (DPA) electropolymerization in the absence and the presence of reduced graphene oxide (RGO) is studied. The optical properties of the composites based on polydiphenylamine (PDPA) doped with the H4SiW12O40 heteropolyanions and RGO are investigated by Raman scattering, IR absorption spectroscopy and photoluminescence (PL). The presence of RGO induces an up-shift of the oxidation maximum of the DPA, as a result of a covalent functionalization process of graphene sheets with the polymer in the doped state. The deposition of PDPA onto RGO sheets surface is confirmed by the Raman scattering studies. Regardless of the H4SiW12O40 concentration, an up-shift of the IR bands from 910 to 1014 cm-1 is reported as a consequence of the compensation of positive charges of PDPA macromolecular chains with of the H4SiW12O40 heteropolyanions. An enhancement in the absorbance of the IR bands situated in the spectral range 750-1050 cm-1 accompanied of a decrease in the relative intensity of the PL bands of PDPA and their composites with RGO, as increasing the H4SiW12O40 concentration, is reported. In the presence of RGO, a change in the PDPA PL spectra profile is also highlighted.

Preparation and characterization of bismuth oxychloride/reduced graphene oxide for photocatalytic degradation of rhodamine B under white-light light-emitting-diode and sunlight irradiation
摘要： Facile and template-free two-step synthesis of bismuth oxychloride/graphene oxide (BiOCl/GO) and bismuth oxychloride/reduced graphene oxide (BiOCl/rGO) photocatalysts for degradation of rhodamine B (RhB) under low-power white light–emitting diode (wLED) irradiation (1.6 W/cm2) and sunlight is demonstrated. These photocatalysts were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry, X-ray di?raction, and micro-Raman, Fourier-transform infrared, X-ray photoelectron, and UV–Vis di?use re?ectance spectroscopy. Under wLED irradiation, the prepared BiOCl/rGO photocatalysts exhibited excellent photodegradation activity toward RhB through chromophore cleavage mechanism and toward phenol in the presence of RhB with notable dye-sensitized e?ect. Through scavenging experiments, superoxide radicals were notably involved in RhB degradation. With the highest charge separation e?ciency and lowest recombination rate, the photocatalytic activity of BiOCl/rGO reached a maximum rate constant of 0.1899 min?1, 2.0 and 3.0 times higher than those of BiOCl/GO and BiOCl, respectively. In the stability study, only a slight loss (4.5%) in photodegradation was observed after BiOCl/rGO was used in ?ve cycles of photodegradation runs. Compared with commonly used photocatalyst such as TiO2 (P25), BiOCl/rGO demonstrated superior photocatalytic activity and stability under wLED irradiation for various dyestu?s (rhodamine 6 G, methylene blue, and fast green FCF) in di?erent environmental water samples (lake, pond, and sea water).

Wearable piezoelectric nanogenerators based on reduced graphene oxide and in situ polarization-enhanced PVDF-TrFE films
摘要： PVDF-TrFE-based wearable nanogenerators were designed and fabricated with enhanced performances via reduced graphene oxides (rGO) and in situ electric polarization. Our laboratory-made polarization system may complete the in situ poling of PVDF-TrFE films in 5 min without heating, which has the advantages of high production efficiency, excellent piezoelectric performances, and favorable uniformity, compared to traditional poling approaches. The addition of rGO into PVDF-TrFE significantly improved the crystallinity of the b-phase PVDF-TrFE and enhanced the formation of hydrogen bonds via interaction of dipoles between rGO and PVDF-TrFE. This further improved the energy-harvesting performances of these piezoelectric nanogenerators with 1.6 times of the open-circuit voltage and 2 times of the power density than that of pure PVDF-TrFE-based devices. The high production efficiency and excellent piezoelectric performances of in situ polarized rGO/PVDF-TrFE make them of great potential for self-powered, wearable/portable devices.

Effect of reduced graphene oxide addition on the performance of zinc oxide nanorod based dye-sensitized solar cell
摘要： As one of third generation photovoltaic device, dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) plays important part in search for new and renewable energy resources. As part of this device, dye has a very critical function due to its responsibility in absorbing the photon energy from the sunlight. The more light can be absorbed, the higher the value of photon to electricity conversion efficiency can be obtained. For increasing the absorption capacity of the dye, this work investigated the effect of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) addition into the dye solution with rGO to dye weight % ratio of 1:100; 3:100; and 5:100 respectively. On the basis of investigation, it was found that the ratio of 3:100 produced a higher power conversion efficiency (PCE) of about 0,02% as compared to the reference cells which displayed a value of 0,005%. It confirms that introducing rGO into the dye can enhance the DSSC performance, though several fabrication handling procedures still need to be improved as well.

A transparent and Pt-free all-carbon nanocomposite counter electrode catalyst for efficient dye sensitized solar cells
摘要： Recently, substantial focus has made in the development of cost effective Pt-free dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). In this article we report a potential, Pt-free, carbon based nanocomposite as counter electrode catalyst for dye sensitized solar cells. Graphene oxide (GO) was made into reduced graphene oxide (SSrGO) by irradiating with light (Xe source). Suspension of SSrGO in DMF was spray coated onto fluorine doped tin oxide (FTO) coated glass substrate, followed by spray coat of single walled carbon nanohorns (SWCNH) suspension in DMF. SSrGO and SWCNH coated FTO glass substrate was investigated as an effective Pt-free composite counter electrode (CE) for DSSC and also showed the comparable catalytic activity with Pt. The test cell reveals power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 8.27%, whereas the DSSC module exhibited a PCE of 5.18%. By using the fabricated DSSC module, an electric motor (15 mW) was operated both in indoor and outdoor light conditions. The procedures followed in this work pave a way for the easy fabrication of composite CE towards transparent DSSC modules and further the integration of the DSSC module with the standard Si solar cell is of great potential for various real-time application.

Influence of reduced graphene oxide-TiO2 composite nanofibers in organic indoline DN350 based dye sensitized solar cells
摘要： In this study, the highly e?cient organic indoline DN350 based dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) have been fabricated using reduced graphene oxide (rGO)-TiO2 composite nano?bers (NFs) and tested its photovoltaic properties. The in?uence of the rGO on the morphology, structural properties of the TiO2 NFs have been characterized by various techniques. Our photovoltaic results revealed that the modi?ed rGO-TiO2 composite NFs exhibited higher power conversion e?ciency (PCE) in comparison with the pristine-TiO2 NFs. The electrochemical analysis indicated that the GO content provides more active sites results in higher dye adsorption which consequently improves the DSSCs performance. Our optimized sample containing 4 mg-rGO-TiO2 NFs exhibited the best performance with 4.43% PCE, which is higher than the pristine-TiO2 NFs (3.83%). Overall, this study presents the rGO-TiO2 composite NFs as a novel strategy for enhancing the e?ciency of the organic indoline DN350 based DSSCs.

Functionalized rGO Interlayers Improve the Fill Factor and Current Density in PbS QDs-Based Solar Cells
摘要： Graphene-quantum dot nanocomposites attract significant attention for novel optoelectronic devices, such as ultrafast photodetectors and third-generation solar cells. Combining the remarkable optical properties of quantum dots (QDs) with the exceptional electrical properties of graphene derivatives opens a vast perspective for further growth in solar cell efficiency. Here, we applied (3-mercaptopropyl) trimethoxysilane functionalized reduced graphene oxide (f-rGO) to improve the QDs-based solar cell active layer. The different strategies of f-rGO embedding are explored. When f-rGO interlayers are inserted between PbS QD layers, the solar cells demonstrate a higher current density and a better fill factor. A combined study of the morphological and electrical parameters of the solar cells shows that the improved efficiency is associated with better layer homogeneity, lower trap-state densities, higher charge carrier concentrations, and the blocking of the minor charge carriers.
