A new ferrocene derivative (1-[(4-amino) phenylethynyl]ferrocene, Fc-NH(2)) was synthesized for the first time. The ferrocene derivative molecule contained the phenylethynyl skeleton, ferrocene and amino groups with excellent electrochemical properties. The graphene/Fc-NH(2) nanocomposite was prepared by mixing graphene solution and Fc-NH(2) solution in one pot and the nanocomposite was utilize...

Graphene has been demonstrated as a potential gas sensor material by many researches [1,2]. However, the strong binding energy between graphene and analyte molecules leads to an inefficient desorption and subsequently a poor reliability on sensing performance. Besides, the lack of semiconducting property of graphene also disables the modulation of the transport characteristics through light irr...

graphene nanostructures were synthesized by hummer method. 1, 3, 5 and 7 wt% of graphene nanostructures were suspended in certain amount of acetone on a mechanical stirrer and stirred then added to epoxy resin. after 4 hours, solution and graphene platelets (gps) were prepared. nanostructures were characterized by x-ray diffraction (xrd), scanning electron microscopy (sem ), fourier transform i...

fuel cells, secondary batteries and capacitors are among many promising energy storage devices. in particular, supercapacitors have attracted much attention because of their long life cycle and high power density. graphene/nickel ferrite(g-nf) based supercapacitors were successfully fabricated through a one-step facile solvothermal route. effects of synthesis conditions i.e. solvothermal time a...

graphene oxide was prepared using modified hummers method. stable ethylene-glycol nanofluids containing graphene oxide nanosheets were provided. nd: yag pulsed laser was applied to prepare reduced nanofluids. experimental results revealed that thermal conductivity of the nanofluids is increased with increasing the concentration of graphene oxide (go) in ethylene glycol. the enhancement ratio of...
