A solid phase extraction sorbent based on polyaniline/graphene nanocomposite is presented. The structure and morphology of synthesized nanocomposite were investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and thermal gravimetric analysis. The dispersive solid phase extraction was employed to the isolation and preconcentration ...

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...

in this research, electromagnetic properties of graphene-epoxy nanocomposite up to 3wt% graphene, were investigated in x band. results showed that these nanocomposites do not have significant permeability so that it can be considered equal to 1. however they exhibit high permittivity such that real part of permittivity of 3wt% graphene sample is 8.4 in 8ghz and 6.8 in 12ghz frequencies, which a...

Amazing conductivity, perfect honeycomb sp(2) arrangement and the high theoretical surface area make pristine graphene as one of the best materials suited for application as catalyst supports. Unfortunately, the low reactivity of the material makes the formation of nanocomposite with inorganic materials difficult. Here we report an easy approach to synthesize nanocomposites of pristine graphene...
