In this study, an efficient and facile technique for preparing graphene oxide in suspension and powder forms was presented based on a modification on Hummers' method followed by an additional ultrasonic process. The method involved the provision of graphene oxide from graphite by reaction of potassium permanganate and sulfuric acid with stabilizing the medium complex. Furthermore, this study ev...

Graphene is now the most attractive carbon-based material. Integration of 2D graphene sheets into macroscopic architectures such as fibers illuminates the direction to translate the excellent properties of individual graphene into advanced hierarchical ensembles for promising applications in new graphene-based nanodevices. However, the lack of effective, low-cost and convenient assembly strateg...

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...

In this study, the composite of aluminum metal-organic framework MIL-68(Al) and reduced graphene oxide (MA/RG) was synthesized via a one-step solvothermal method, and their performances for p-nitrophenol (PNP) adsorption from aqueous solution were systematically investigated. The introduction of reduced graphene oxide (RG) into MIL-68(Al) (MA) significantly changes the morphologies of the MA an...

we report the synthesized and preparation of graphene oxide (go) nanocomposite functionalized with polyvinyl alcohol (pva) with different concentration of graphene oxide 0, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5 and 4% weight. this synthesized confirmed by ft-ir. the electrical conductivity of the all nanocomposite was measured at 25°c for all samples and the resulted showed electrical conductivity was increas...

We report on first-principles calculations of spin-dependent properties in graphene induced by its interaction with a nearby magnetic insulator (europium oxide, EuO). The magnetic proximity effect results in spin polarization of graphene π orbitals by up to 24%, together with a large exchange-splitting band gap of about 36 meV. The position of the Dirac cone is further shown to depend strongly ...

In this work, we study the magnetization of two types particles a composite consisting polystyrene and multilayer graphene chemically bonded to it, obtained by magnetic separation initial composite. For needle-shaped particles, ferromagnetic type was observed for first time, with values saturation that are large graphene. flat, macroscopic composite, superposition several contributions observed...

Chemical agents pose a significant threat to social security, highlighting the crucial role of representative chemical adsorption in ensuring safety our environment. This study explored application Magnetic Graphene Oxide Nanoplatelet Composites (MGONCs) adsorbing such as Lewisite (L), O-ethyl S-2-diisopropylaminoethyl methylphosphonothiolate (VX), Sarin (GB), and Soman (GD). MGONCs were synthe...
