PPY, PANI and PPY-PANI-ZnO ternary nanocomposites were synthesized in the laboratory via chemical oxidative polymerization method. The formation of corresponding change nanostructure with incorporation ZnO was examined by X-ray diffraction technique (XRD). Nano-flakes like structure formed PPY-PANI polymeric matrix embodiment nanoparticles, as surface topology images. Optical transmittance spec...

Here we present a facile technique for the large-scale production of few-layer graphene flakes. The as-sonicated, supernatant, and sediment of the graphene product were respectively sprayed onto different types of silicon wafers. It was found that all devices exhibited current rectification properties, and the supernatant graphene devices have the best performance. Schottky junctions formed bet...

Thermal properties of sp2 systems such as graphene and hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) have attracted significant attention because of both systems being excellent thermal conductors. This research reports micro-Raman measurements on the in-plane E2g optical phonon peaks (~ 1580 cm-1 in graphene layers and ~ 1362 cm-1 in h-BN layers) as a function of temperature from - 194 to 200 °C. The h-BN fl...

Water purification membranes, capable of purifying a few to tens of milliliters of aqueous methylene blue solution in a minute, were produced by supersonically blowing graphene flakes with a nylon-6 polymeric solution. The solution-blown nylon-6 nanofibers became entangled with graphene flakes thereby locking the graphene flakes within the frame of the bendable two-dimensional film structure. T...

Graphene flakes with giant shape anisotropy are extensively used to establish connectedness electrical percolation in various heterogeneous systems. However, the percolation behaviour of graphene flakes has been recently predicted to be far more complicated than generally anticipated on the basis of excluded volume arguments. Here we confirm experimentally that graphene flakes self-assemble int...
