CoFe2O4 nanoparticles were uniformly anchored on reduced graphene oxide by a facile solvothermal method. The obtained CoFe2O4/reduced graphene oxide (CoFe2O4/rGO) hybrid was employed as catalyst for Li–O2 batteries. It could effectively lower the ORR (oxygen reduction reaction) and OER (oxygen evolution reaction) overpotentials of the batteries and deliver a large capacity of 12 235 mA h grGO−1 (2116 mA h ghybrid−1). It also exhibited high cyclic stability.

Zn0.4Cd0.6S/TiO2/Reduced graphene oxide (Zn0.4Cd0.6S/TiO2/RGO) nano-photocatalyst was synthesized by a facile solvothermal method. During the reaction, TiO2 and Zn0.8Cd0.2S nanoparticles were evenly dispersed across the surface of RGO, which enhanced response to visible light. The photocatalytic activity of as-synthesized Zn0.4Cd0.6S/TiO2/RGO nanomaterial was studied by means of degrading methylene blue (MB) through the irradiation of visible light. Compared with other nanomaterials, the Zn0.4Cd0.6S/TiO2/ RGO nanomaterials showed the highest photocatalytic degradation efficiency (96%) and high stability, which was 5.4 times of photodegradation efficiency of pure TiO2.

Reduced graphene oxide (RGEO) and N-[4-(chlorocarbonyl)phenyl]maleimide-functionalized reduced graphene oxide (MFRGEO) were used as nanofillers for polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) matrix nanocomposites to enhance thermal stability. Methyl methacrylate containing nanofiller of four different weight percent (0.2, 0.4, 0.6, and 0.8) was polymerized using ultrasonic radiation-assisted bulk polymerization. The Fourier-transform infrared spectra showed the absence of chemical interaction between the filler and the matrix phase. Morphology of nanocomposites studied using scanning electron microscope confirmed the assistance aided by ultrasonication in the uniform dispersion of nanofiller in the PMMA matrix. Thermogravimetric (TG) study revealed the presence of MFRGEO enhanced the thermal stability of PMMA by shifting the entire degradation to higher temperature. The thermal stability of PMMA nanocomposite was improved by as much as 40°C at just 0.8 wt% loading of MFRGEO. Differential TG study also supported the role of maleimide functionalization on RGEO in the enhancement of thermal stability of PMMA by means of retarding the degradation rate of unsaturated chain ends in the PMMA matrix. Unlike MFRGEO, RGEO failed to enhance the thermal stability of PMMA.
