Graphene-based nanocomposites attract many attentions because of holding promise for many applications. In this work, multishelled NiO hollow spheres decorated by graphene nanosheets nanocomposite are successfully fabricated. The multishelled NiO microspheres are uniformly distributed on the surface of graphene, which is helpful for preventing aggregation of as-reduced graphene sheets. Furthermore, the NiO/graphene nanocomposite shows much higher electrochemical performance with a reversible capacity of 261.5 mAh g−1at a current density of 200 mA g−1after 100 cycles tripled compared with that of pristine multishelled NiO hollow spheres, implying the potential application in modern science and technology.

Graphene nanosheets/polyurethane (GNS/PU) was prepared in situ by polymerization technique for the manufacture of PU safety shoes soles. The graphene nanosheets/polyurethane composites were characterized for their mechanical properties, thermal conductivity and abrasion resistance, and comparison is made with those of the neat polyurethane. The microstructural properties of GNS/PU were characterized by SEM. The results show that with the increase of the amount of graphene within the range of weight-percentages analyzed, the tensile strength of the composites gradually increases. The tensile strength of the GNS/PU composites increased to 64.14 MPa with 2 wt% GNS, compared with 55.1 MPa for neat PU. When the graphene sheets reached 2 wt%, the abrasion volume reached 71 mm3. Compared with the pure PU, the wear performance of GNS/PU composites was significantly improved.

Bottom-up synthesis of α′-MnB reveals semi-hard ferromagnetic properties of the nano-particles.


We identify nitryl perchlorate as the essential intermediate in the low temperature thermal decomposition of ammonium perchlorate AP. Evidence supporting this identification includes the analytical detection of an oxidized nitrogenous species in partly reacted AP and the ability of ammonium nitrate and several other nitrates to markedly reduce the induction period to decomposition of AP and to accelerate the subsequent reaction. It is also shown that the measured rate of the reaction of pure AP is in very satisfactory agreement with that estimated to result from this amount of NO 2 ClO 4 present. This mechanism differs from those currently accepted, in which the controlling process is believed to involve the transfer of either a proton or an electron. Our proposal is based on the known instability of NO 2 ClO 4 at reaction temperature ( ca . 500 K), the enhanced reactivity compared to the ionic alkali perchlorates being ascribed to covalent bond formation O 2 NO─ClO 3 . Subsequent reactions of the products of breakdown of this species, NO + , ClO 3 - and 2O or O 2 , are regarded as capable of oxidizing reactant NH 4 + (→NO 2 + ), thus regenerating the intermediate. Localized reaction in migrating ‘particles’ of fluid NO 2 ClO 4 , advancing through the reactant and leaving a residue of porous NH 4 ClO 4 , explains the unusual, incomplete low temperature decomposition that is characteristic of AP. The article reports comparative kinetic data for the decomposition of pure AP and the reaction initiated by various added nitrates. Rate studies are complemented by scanning electron microscope examinations of the geometry of interface development and the structure of the decomposed salt. From these and analytical results the role of nitryl perchlorate in AP decomposition is discussed.

A well-organized composite of graphene nanosheets decorated with FeC2O4 particles was synthesized through a simple chemical precipitation method. The FeC2O4 nanoparticles obtained were 100-150 nm in size and homogeneously anchored on graphene sheets as spacers to keep the neighboring sheets separated. The FeC2O4-graphene exhbited excellent performances in absorption propties and supercapacitor make potential uses as environment and energy storage materials in future.
