The coexistence of electrical conductivity and ferromagnetism has been achieved in a reduced graphene oxide/manganese oxide hybrid (rGO-Mn) synthesized by chemical reduction of a graphene oxide and Mn(2+) (as its GO-Mn(2+) complex) using hydrazine. The rGO-Mn and GO-Mn(2+) complexes were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron sp...

Organic nanostructures in terms of porphyrin building blocks have shown great potential in visible-light photocatalytic applications because of their optical, electrical, and catalytic properties. Graphenes are known to provide a high-quality two-dimensional (2D) support for inorganic semiconductor nanostructures to increase the adsorption capability of the photocatalysts and an electron-transf...

the abrasion is a significant issue, especially in machining of rigid steels. a functional and suitable approach for enhancing the heat transfer from machining area is using an intermediate fluid with higher heat transfer potential instead of common fluids. the objective of this experimental study is to discuss production, stability and thermal conductivity examination of water/graphene oxide n...

An adhesive and conductive glue was created by synergistic assembly of graphene oxide (GO), single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and conjugate polymer PEDOT:PSS in aqueous solution. The GO–SWCNTs–PEDOT:PSS glue can be used as a binder to fabricate metal oxide nanoparticle based ultracapacitors. Since the functional nanoparticles are immersed in this conductive gel, uniform electrical and mec...

Exploiting new, low-cost and efficient electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is important to resolve the energy crisis and environment pollution.
