We report an enhanced NH3 sensing material formed by functionalization of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) with 1,8,15,22-tetra(4-tert-butylphenoxyl)metallophthalocyanine (TBPOMPc; M = Cu, Ni, Pb) via a solution self-assembly method based on π–π stacking interactions.

As an energy-efficient surface modification method, self-assembly has been the subject of extensive research. However, its application on carbon film has been rarely reported. In the present work, a novel self-assembled reduced graphene oxide (RGO) was prepared on a-C:H film by a controllable self-assembly method, and the friction behavior of the RGO/a-C:H film was investigated under vacuum environment. Interestingly, the RGO/a-C:H film exhibited significant improvement of anti-wear ability in vacuum conditions under a high applied load of 5 N. As expected, the synergy lubrication effect of the RGO layer and a-C:H film should account for the excellent friction reduction and anti-wear ability of a RGO/a-C:H multilayer film.

Abstract This paper reports on the synthesis of reduced graphene oxide (RGO)-intercataled graphene oxide (GO) nano-hybrid and investigates its application in photoelectrochemical (PEC) water reduction. The optical, structural, and morphological properties of RGO-intercalated GO (RGO/GO) nano-hybrid were studied using UV–Visible spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy, respectively. The reduction of GO to RGO was studied using FTIR spectroscopy. The XRD and FTIR investigation shows the strong π–π stacking interactions between the layered GO host–RGO guest sheets. An improvement in PEC water reduction activity was exhibited by RGO/GO nano-hybrid photoelectrode, with a maximum photocurrent of − 61.35 μA/cm2 for RGO 1 wt% in GO versus − 42.80 μA/cm2 for pristine GO photoelectrode (43% improvement). The mechanism for photocurrent enhancement was studied by electrochemical impedance analysis. The PEC performance enhancement of RGO/RO nano-hybrid photoelectrode is attributed to the strong π–π stacking interactions between RGO and GO, leading to superior electron collection and transportation by RGO and hence reduced charge carrier recombination. In addition, the UV–Visible absorption and Taut plot analysis showed the higher light harvesting efficiency of the RGO/GO compared to GO, displaying a band gap of 2.58 eV and 3.11 eV for RGO/GO and GO, respectively. The findings of this work show the potential of a strongly coupled layered host–guest nano-hybrids for high-performance optoelectronic materials. Graphic abstract
