Abstract An efficient and sensitive electrochemical sensor for simultaneous detection of heavy metal ions was developed based on furfural/reduced graphene oxide composites (FF/RGO). The preparation of FF/RGO were performed through a one-step high-pressure assisted hydrothermal treatment, which is recommended as a green, convenient, and efficient way for the reduction of graphene oxide and the production of FF/RGO composites. RGO not only serves as the skeleton for furfural loading but also improves the conductivity of the composites in the matrix. FF/RGO with large specific surface area and abundant oxygen-containing functional groups was used to provide more binding sites for the effificient adsorption of heavy-metal ions due to the interaction between hydrophilic groups (-COOH, -OH, and -CHO) and metal cations. The developed sensor showed identifiable electrochemical response toward the heavy metal ions separately and simultaneously, exhibiting superior stability, outstanding sensitivity, selectivity and excellent analytical performance. Impressively, the sensor developed in this experiment has been successfully applied to the simultaneous determination of various heavy metal ions in actual samples, which has definitely exhibited a promising prospect in practical application.

Non-covalent functionalization of 2,5-dimethoxy-1,4-benzoquinone and hydroquinone on reduced graphene oxide sheets led to the formation of a redox-active three-dimensional gel architecture via a one-step hydrothermal method, where the former exhibited high gravimetric and volumetric capacitance and 99% capacitance retention after 25 000 cycles at 50 mV s−1.

The composites of sulphide and reduced graphene oxide (NiS/MoS2-rGO) were synthesized through a facile solvent-assisted hydrothermal method. The introduction of NiS was paramount not only in enhancing the conductivity of whole catalysts but also in modulating the layer structures of MoS2 with additional active sites. Moreover, the NiS and rGO functioned together in controlling the morphology of as-prepared composites, resulting in uniformly distributed NiS/MoS2 nanosheets perpendicular to rGO scaffold. This further contributed to the excellent hydrogen evolution performance of the composites with a small onset overpotential of 80[Formula: see text]mV and Tafel slope as low as 65[Formula: see text]mV/decade.
