Nickel nanoparticles were dispersed uniformly in a graphene oxide solution, using a laser ablation technique with different ablation times that ranged from 5 to 20 minutes. The results indicate that the nickel nanoparticle sizes inside the graphene oxide decreased, and the volume fraction for the nickel nanoparticles in the graphene oxide increased with an increasing ablation time. Further, using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy, the nickel nanoparticles in the graphene oxide demonstrate greater stability from possible agglomeration when the nanoparticle was capped with oxygen from the carboxyl group of the graphene oxide. The thermal effusivity of the graphene oxide and nickel nanoparticle graphene oxide composite was measured using a photoacoustic technique. The concentration of graphene oxide shifted from 0.05 mg/L to 2 mg/L, and the thermal effusivity increased from 0.153 W·s1/2·cm−2·K−1to 0.326 W·s1/2·cm−2·K−1. In addition, the thermal effusivity of the nickel nanoparticles graphene oxide composite increased with an increase in the volume fraction of nickel nanoparticles from 0.1612 W·s1/2·cm−2·K−1to 0.228 W·s1/2·cm−2·K−1.

The interest toward two-dimensional (2D) materials is gradually increasing because of their structure at nanoscale and great importance for electronic and optical applications. In this study, we show the synthesis of graphene oxide (GO) micro-ribbons fabricated by chemical assisted-laser ablation method. In order to confirm the formation of GO, UV-visible spectroscopy (UV-vis) and Raman spectroscopy are used to observe the surface morphological feature and structural details. In addition, a possible mechanism for the growth of GO nanoribbon is discussed. This work indicates a new method to develop GO nanostructures and related nanomaterials.

Synthesis of copper nanoparticles was achieved by laser irradiation of copper plate in walnut oil. The copper plate was irradiated using Nd:YAG pulse laser at different ablation time from 5 to 50 minutes, and the prepared samples were characterized using analytical methods to find the optical absorption, morphology, particle size, and capping of copper nanoparticles with walnut oil. Consequently, the absorption peak appeared at about 615, 606, 588, 576, and 561 nm; and the nanoparticles formed in spherical shape in walnut oil. The particle size varied from 25 to 4.01 nm, and the tail of the carbonyl band capped the copper nanoparticles through the electron transfer from the carboxylic group to copper nanoparticles. The refractive indices of the nanofluid were measured using a surface plasmon resonance technique and changed from 1.4691 + 0.008i to 1.4682 + 0.043i as the volume fraction increased from 0.0257 × 10−5to 1.26 × 10−5. Consequently, the laser ablation method is environmentally sensitive (i.e., green) and thus is suitable for the fabrication of copper nanoparticles in walnut oil without any agent.

This study discusses the synthesis, characterization, and activity of silver nanoparticles, along with silver graphene oxide, against pathogenic bacteria. Silver nanoparticles are prepared by laser ablation and fabricated with silver graphene oxide. The synthesized silver nanoparticles and silver graphene oxide were characterized through UV-Vis spectrophotometer, Fourier-transforms spectroscopy, and zeta potential. The antimicrobial performance of silver nanoparticles and silver graphene oxide nanoparticles were monitored by the contradiction of gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia.coli and Acenetobacter bumannii), and gram positive bacteria: Staphylococcus aureus. Different concentrations of silver and silver graphene oxide have been investigated to monitor their antibacterial activity against bacterial isolates. The results indicate that the nanocomposites have antibacterial activity and the antibacterial effect increases with increased concentration of nanocomposites. Laser ablation method, a fast synthesis technique, has been used in the current study to prepare silver nanoparticle and silver nanoparticle-graphene oxide nanocomposites.

Platinum nanoparticles were synthesized in graphene oxide aqueous solution using a laser ablation technique to investigate the effect of optical linear, nonlinear and thermal properties of platinum-graphene oxide nanocomposite solution. The samples were prepared with different ablation times. The platinum nanoparticles that formed a spherical shape on the surface of graphene oxide solution were authenticated using UV-visible spectrum and transmission electron microscopy patterns. The particle size decreased with increasing ablation time, and the concentration and volume fraction of samples were increased. To obtain the optical linear, nonlinear and thermal properties of platinum-graphene oxide nanocomposite solution, UV-visible spectroscopy, Z-scan, thermal lens and photoacoustic techniques were used. Consequently, the linear and nonlinear refractive indices increased with an increase in the volume fraction of platinum nanoparticles. It was observed from the spatial self-phase modulation patterns that, the optical nonlinear property of the graphene oxide was enhanced in the presence of platinum nanoparticles, and the nonlinearity increased with an increase in the volume fraction of platinum nanoparticles inside the graphene oxide solution. The thermal diffusivity and thermal effusivity of platinum nanoparticles graphene oxide were measured using a thermal lens and photoacoustic methods, respectively. The thermal diffusivity and thermal effusivity of samples were in the range of 0.0341 × 10−5 m2/s to 0.1223 × 10−5 m2/s and 0.163 W s1/2 cm−2 K−1 to 0.3192 W s1/2 cm−2 K−1, respectively. Consequently, the platinum enhanced the optical and thermal properties of graphene oxide.
