Vein Graphite

Attempts were made to synthesize high quality graphite oxide (GO) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) by using successive oxidation-reduction process of high quality vein graphite from Sri Lanka. We report the lowest optimum reduction temperature for converting GO to rGO which has been systematically studied using X-ray diffraction spectroscope (XRD) with the high temperature heating attachment (HTA) for the first time. The effect of particle size of graphite on properties of GO and rGO is also compared using commercially available graphite of particle size of ~111 mm and ball-milled graphite of particle size ~37 mm. The GO and rGO were characterized using XRD, UV-Visible spectroscopy, Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The GO and rGO synthesized from ball-milled graphite showed higher oxidation and reduction properties as verified through the UV-Vis and FTIR analysis. The SEM analysis revealed that the splitting of graphene layers is efficiently taken place in GO from ball-milled graphite. The lowest optimum temperature for thermal reduction of GO to rGO was found to be at 475 °C. FTIR confirmed the removal of most of the functional groups in rGO and according to the BET surface area analysis few layers, supposed to be 2-6 is formed. The efficient oxidation and reduction process of smaller particle size graphite has led to yield highly oxidized GO and high quality rGO which can be used to prepare high quality graphene for future applications.

This work presents our study results of the magnetization of multilayer UV-reduced graphene oxide (UV-rGO), polymer matrix (polystyrene), and a conjugated composite based on them. The mesoscopic structure of the composites synthesized in this work was studied by such methods as X-ray diffraction, SEM, as well as NMR-, IR- and Raman spectroscopy. The magnetization of the composites under investigation and their components was measured using a vibrating-sample magnetometer. It has been shown that the UV-reduction process leads to the formation of many submicron holes distributed inside rGO flakes, which can create edge defects, causing possibly magnetic order in the graphite samples under investigation on the mesoscopic level. This article provides an alternative explanation for the ferromagnetic hysteresis loop in UV-rGO on the base of superconductivity type-II.

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.
