In the present work, nitrogen-doped reduced graphene oxide-supported (NrGO) bimetallic Pd–Ni nanoparticles (NPs), fabricated by means of the electrochemical reduction method, are investigated as an anode electrocatalyst in direct hydrazine–hydrogen peroxide fuel cells (DHzHPFCs). The surface and structural characterization of the synthesized catalyst affirm the uniform deposition of NPs on the distorted NrGO. The electrochemical studies indicate that the hydrazine oxidation current density on Pd–Ni/NrGO is 1.81 times higher than that of Pd/NrGO. The onset potential of hydrazine oxidation on the bimetallic catalyst is also slightly more negative, i.e., the catalyst activity and stability are improved by Ni incorporation into the Pd network. Moreover, the Pd–Ni/NrGO catalyst has a large electrochemical surface area, a low activation energy value and a low resistance of charge transfer. Finally, a systematic investigation of DHzHPFC with Pd–Ni/NrGO as an anode and Pt/C as a cathode is performed; the open circuit voltage of 1.80 V and a supreme power density of 216.71 mW cm−2 is obtained for the synthesized catalyst at 60 °C. These results show that the Pd–Ni/NrGO nanocatalyst has great potential to serve as an effective and stable catalyst with low Pd content for application in DHzHPFCs.

The third generation of photovoltaic, called as dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC) have attracted much attention and currently become an interesting research topics. One important part of DSSC that determines its performance is photoanodes. Recently, graphene has been used to enhance the efficiency of DSSC through the increasing of electronic transportation. Introduction of graphene into DSSC is realized by changing the form of graphene oxide (GO) into reduced graphene oxide (rGO) through the reduction process. In this work, DSSC based on TiO2 photoanodes modified by rGO were fabricated. rGO layer was deposited on TiO2 mesoporous layer using UV-oven spraying method. We found that parameters of DSSC such as open circuit voltage, short circuit current and fill factor increase with the incorporation of rGO layer in TiO2photoanodes. DSSC with TiO2/rGO photoanodes has the highest power conversion efficiency of 11.01% which contributed from the enhancement of short circuit current. The rGO layer found to be an effective layer to block charge recombination in photoanode.

A facile synthesis of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and methionine film modified screen printed carbon electrode (rGO-methionine/SPCE) was proposed as a disposable sensor for determination of food colorants including amaranth, tartrazine, sunset yellow, and carminic acid. The fabrication process can be achieved in only 2 steps including drop-casting of rGO and electropolymerization of poly(L-methionine) film on SPCE. Surface morphology of modified electrode was studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). This work showed a successfully developed novel disposable sensor for detection of all 4 dyes as food colorants. The electrochemical behavior of all 4 food colorants were investigated on modified electrodes. The rGO-methionine/SPCE significantly enhanced catalytic activity of all 4 dyes. The pH value and accumulation time were optimized to obtain optimal condition of each colorant. Differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) was used for determination, and two linear detection ranges were observed for each dye. Linear detection ranges were found from 1 to 10 and 10 to 100 µM for amaranth, 1 to 10 and 10 to 85 µM for tartrazine, 1 to 10 and 10 to 50 µM for sunset yellow, and 1 to 20 and 20 to 60 µM for carminic acid. The limit of detection (LOD) was calculated at 57, 41, 48, and 36 nM for amaranth, tartrazine, sunset yellow, and carminic acid, respectively. In addition, the modified sensor also demonstrated high tolerance to interference substances, good repeatability, and high performance for real sample analysis.

Abstract Reduced graphene oxide(rGO) has a lot of potential in the area of corrosion control of metals, because of its excellent barrier properties, dispersion capabilities, and impermeability. The current work hires on the corrosion resistance action of reduced graphene oxide(rGO) as an inhibitor for mild steel in simulated concrete pore solution. Here, three different nano rGO contained epoxy coatings were prepared by varying the percentage of rGO. The anticorrosion behaviour of rGO integrated epoxy composite coating was evaluated using open circuit potential and polarization studies. The results indicated that rGO nanoparticles were properly distributed in the epoxy coating and showed excellent barrier properties. Moreover, anti-corrosion processes for composite coatings improved by the addition of various percentages of rGO were apparently hypothesized, implying that epoxy coating containing 1.0 wt.% rGO showed better corrosion resistant behaviour in concrete pore solution medium containing 0.5M NaCl solution.
