We prepared poly(ethylaniline)-coated graphene oxide nanoflakes and then treated them with different concentrations of hydrazine solution to form dielectric composite nanoflakes having different reduction degrees of reduced graphene oxide core and insulating polyethylaniline shell (PEANI/rGO). The morphology of PEANI/rGO was observed by scanning electron microscopy, while the chemical structure was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectrometer. The influence of reduction degrees on the conductivity, dielectric polarization and electrorheological effect of PEANI/rGO in suspensions was investigated by dielectric spectroscopy and rheological test under electric fields. It shows that the PEANI/rGO has two interfacial polarization processes respectively due to rGO core and PEANI shell. As the number of hydrazine increases, the conductivity and polarization rate of rGO core increase. As a result, the difference between the polarization rate of rGO core and that of the PEANI shell gradually becomes large. This increased difference does not significantly decrease the yield stress but causes the flow instability of PEANI/GO suspensions under the simultaneous action of electric and shear fields.

Abstract In recent years, carbon tetrachloride (CT) has been frequently detected in surface water and groundwater around the world; it is necessary to find an effective way to treat wastewater contaminated with it. In this study, Ni/Fe bimetallic nanoparticles were immobilized on reduced graphene oxide (NF@rGO), and used to dechlorinate CT in aqueous solution. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) demonstrated that the two-dimensional structure of rGO could disperse nanoparticles commendably. The results of batch experiments showed that the 4N4F@rGO (Fe/GO = 4 wt./wt., and Ni/Fe = 4 wt.%) could reach a higher reduction capacity (143.2 mgCT/gcatalyst) compared with Ni/Fe bimetallic nanoparticles (91.7 mgCT/gcatalyst) and Fe0 nanoparticles (49.8 mgCT/gcatalyst) respectively. That benefited from the nickel metal as a co-catalyst, which could reduce the reaction activation energy of 6.59 kJ/mol, and rGO as an electrical conductivity supporting material could further reduce the reaction activation energy of 4.73 kJ/mol as presented in the conceptual model. More complete dechlorination products were generated with the use of 4N4F@rGO. Based on the above results, the reductive pathway of CT and the catalytic reaction mechanism have been discussed.

Micro-emulsion method is adopted to synthesis rGO-Fe3O4-PANI (reduced graphene oxide-Fe3O4-polyaniline) ternary nano-composites. With the different contents of aniline (0.1 g, 0.2 g, 0.3 g) added in production, the corresponding final products are named as sample 1, sample 2, sample 3, respectively. The results of TEM indicate that the mean size of Fe3O4 nano-particles is 14 nm and they are anchored onto rGO slice. There are some PANI polymer wrinkles distributed on the rGO surface uniformly. The electro-magnetic data demonstrate that sample 1 possess a great enhancement of the electro-magnetic wave absorption abilities and frequency bandwidth among the three samples. The RLmin (minimum reflection loss) value of sample 1 is -44.16 dB at 4.29 GHz with 5 mm coating thickness and 1.77 GHz (3.72-4.94 GHz, 13.33-13.88 GHz) frequency bandwidth (RL <italic/> -10 dB). We can believe that this kind of nano-composites will have a promising application in the future.
