Small sized electrocatalysts, which can be obtained by rapid nucleation and high supersaturation are imperative for outstanding methanol oxidation reaction (MOR). Conventional microwave synthesis processes of electrocatalysts include ultrasonication, stirring, pH adjustment, and microwave irradiation of the precursor mixture. Ethylene glycol (EG), which serves as a reductant and solvent was added during the ultrasonication or stirring stage. However, this step and pH adjustment resulted in unintended multi-stage gradual nucleation. In this study, the microwave reduction approach was used to induce rapid nucleation and high supersaturation in order to fabricate small-sized reduced graphene oxide-supported palladium (Pd/rGO) electrocatalysts via the delayed addition of EG, elimination of the pH adjustment step, addition of sodium carbonate (Na2CO3), prior microwave irradiation of the EG mixed with Na2CO3, and addition of room temperature precursor mixture. Besides its role as a second reducing agent, the addition of Na2CO3 was primarily intended to generate an alkaline condition, which is essential for the high-performance of electrocatalysts. Moreover, the microwave irradiation of the EG and Na2CO3 mixture generated highly reactive free radicals that facilitate rapid nucleation. Meanwhile, the room temperature precursor mixture increased supersaturation. Results showed improved electrochemically active surface area (78.97 m2 g−1, 23.79% larger), MOR (434.49 mA mg−1, 37.96% higher) and stability.

Graphene merupakan material 2 dimensional yang mempunyai sifat unik salah satunya memiliki luas permukaan sangat tinggi (~2630 m2g-1) yang dapat mengadsorbsi gas target. Tidak seperti sensor gas lainnya, sensor graphene dapat dioperasikan di bawah kondisi sekitar dan pada suhu kamar. Interaksi antar gas metanol dengan graphene menghasilkan perubahan pada sifak konduktifitas dan resistensinya yang membuat graphene menjadi elemen sensor yang baik. Struktur dan sifat elektronik graphene tergantung pada proses sintesisnya. Metode Hummers dan microwave irradiation dipilih karena biaya produksi efektif, menghasilkan graphene dengan sensitifitas tinggi terhadap target gas. Dari ketiga variasi pembuatan graphene dari Graphene Oxide (GO) melalui microwave irradiation yaitu 0,1 g-450 Watt, 0,1 g-630 Watt dan 0,02 g-450 Watt menunjukkan sensitifitas paling tinggi pada variasi graphene 0,02 g-450 Watt. Hal ini mengindikasikan semakin kecil massa GO  dan semakin tinggi daya microwave membentuk sifat graphene yang lebih optimal terlebih untuk sensor gas.

Microwave irradiation of metals generates electric discharges (sparks). These sparks are used to generate metallic nanoparticle of Cu and Ni and one-dimensional nanorods of CuS, ZnF2, and NiF2 protected with fluorinated amorphous carbon. We have also synthesized reduced graphene oxide and graphene partially rolled into scrolls by this method.
