Graphene oxide obtained by Hummer's method is used to synthesize reduced graphene oxide (RGO) using chemical and thermal treatment method. Flexible composites of RGO-Silicon carbide (SiC)-Low density polyethylene (LLDPE) in different wt.% ratios of fillers are characterized for complex permittivity and permeability in X-band. A metamaterial design of ring shaped with four stripe structure is designed on developed substrate as well as standard FR4 substrate and simulated using EM simulator, CST Microwave Studio. Simulated results showed shifting of resonant peak frequency from C-band frequency for FR4 substrate to X-band for developed substrates signifying a role of microwave constitutive properties of the dielectric spacer. The fabricated metamaterial structure on RGO-SiC-LLDPE composite of thickness 0.7 mm shows a S11 ∼ −25 dB at 10.7 GHz with maximum absorption of 96.7%. Thus, the developed meta-material design showing a potential application in microwave applications.

A multi-step reduction process was developed to produce reduced graphene oxide (rGO) paper for electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding. First step reduction was achieved by hydroiodic acid to remove most of the oxygen-containing functional groups, and sodium borohydride was used in the second step reduction to reduce carbonyl group which is the most difficult functional group to remove. In the last step reduction, hydroiodic acid was used as reducing agent again to remove the remaining oxygen-containing functional groups. The results show that this method can greatly improve the conductivity and EMI shielding performance of rGO paper. The resulting rGO paper with a C/O ratio of 19.38 and a thickness of 9.1[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]m exhibited high conductivity of 1084[Formula: see text]S/cm and excellent average EMI shielding efficiency of 45.84[Formula: see text]dB in the X-band, better than that reduction by other chemical methods.

A platform for the simultaneous determination of Cd(ii) and Pb(ii) in aqueous solution has been applied using an aluminum silicon carbide-reduced graphene oxide (Al4SiC4–RGO) nanocomposite modified glass carbon electrode (GCE) for the first time.
