This work reports the successful preparation of nanoporous iron oxide/carbon composites through the in-situ growth of Prussian blue (PB) nanoparticles on the surface of graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets. The applied thermal treatment allows the conversion of PB nanoparticles into iron oxide (Fe2O3) nanoparticles. The resulting iron oxide/carbon composite exhibits higher specific capacitance at all scan rates than pure GO and Fe2O3 electrodes due to the synergistic contribution of electric double-layer capacitance from GO and pseudocapacitance from Fe2O3. Notably, even at a high current density of 20 A g−1, the iron oxide/carbon composite still shows a high capacitance retention of 51%, indicating that the hybrid structure provides a highly accessible path for diffusion of electrolyte ions.

Methods based on prussian blue nanoparticles (PBNPs) have been reported for photothermal immunoassays in analytical nanoscience fields but most suffer from low sensitivity and are not beneficial for routine use.

A simple and facile method is described for the in situ synthesis of graphene oxide-Ag nanoplates (GO-AgNPs) hybrid structure and then served as sacrificial templates for producing graphene oxide-Au nanorings (GO-AuNRs) by galvanic replacement taken place on the GO surface. The catalytic activity of the resulting hybrid nanomaterial has been investigated for the reduction of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) to 4-aminophenol (4-AP) with sodium borohydride (NaBH4). The results showed that the rate constant of GO-AuNRs nanomaterials was 0.205[Formula: see text]min[Formula: see text] and the samples showed significant enhancement in catalytic activity.

Sulfur–carbon composites were prepared by an in situ sulfur deposition route developed for the heterogeneous nucleation of sulfur into nanopores of conductive carbon black (CCB) by fumigation of Na2S4/CCB powder with HCl. The sulfur–carbon composites demonstrate enhanced reversible capacity and stable cycle performance.

We synthesize the Pt-carbon composite which is composed of unzipped multi-walled carbon nanotube (UMWCNT) and graphene oxide (GO). Graphite and multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) are oxidized by same method that modified Hummer’s method for making GO and UMWCNT. 3D structure could be prepared by polyol process which contains simultaneously reduction GO and UMWCNT. The electrochemical and morphological property of Pt-carbon composites was investigated by Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM), and Cyclic Voltammetry (CV). These results show that Pt-rGO/UMWCNT (8:2) hybrids exhibited high catalytic activity due to the enhanced surface area of carbon supports.
