Partially Reduced Graphene Oxide

An in situ emulsion polymerization method was used for the synthesis of polyacrylonitrile nanoparticles amino-functionalized partially reduced graphene oxide (PAN-PRGO). After that, hydrolyzed polyacrylonitrile nanoparticles amino-functionalized partially reduced graphene oxide (HPAN-PRGO) nanocomposite was achieved by the modification of nitrile groups of the composite polymer chains to carboxylic groups, aminoethylene diamine, and amidoxime functional groups through partial hydrolysis using a basic solution of sodium hydroxide for 20 min. Different synthesized materials were characterized and compared using well-known techniques including transmission electron microscope (TEM), scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Raman spectra, and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The nanocomposite was structured through the interaction between acrylonitrile’s (AN) nitrile groups and amino-functionalized graphene oxide nanosheets’ amino groups to successfully graft polyacrylonitrile over the surface of functionalized nanosheets as approved by characterization techniques. The synthesized composite was examined for the removal of samarium ions (Sm3+) from water. Different experimental conditions including pH, contact time, initial concentration, and adsorbent dose were investigated to determine the optimum conditions for the metal capture from water. The optimum conditions were found to be a contact time of 15 min, pH 6, and 0.01 g of adsorbent dosage. The experimental results found, in a good agreement with the Langmuir isotherm model, the maximum adsorption capacity of Sm3+ uptake was equal to 357 mg/g. A regeneration and reusability study of synthesized composite up to six cycles indicated the ability to use HPAN-PRGO nanocomposite several times for Sm3+ uptake. The obtained results prove that this polymer-based composite is a promising adsorbent for water treatment that must be studied for additional pollutants removal in the future.

This study investigated the adsorption process of p-nitrophenol ( p-NP) onto partially reduced graphene oxide (prGO) using both experiment and theoretical calculations. The maximum adsorption capacity of prGO at pH 6.0 and 293 K for p-NP was 29.94 mg g−1 which was significantly higher than previously reported using a metal-doped reduced graphene oxide composite. Systematic, comparative theoretical calculations were used to investigate the adsorption mechanism of p-NP onto graphene oxide, prGO and graphene nanosheet (GN). Calculations revealed three types of adsorption site and indicated that the adsorption force and sites were significantly affected by the quantity and type of oxygen-containing functional groups on the GN. The adsorption affinity was mainly derived from hydrogen bonds and π-π stacking which was further demonstrated by FTIR analysis. Due to its excellent adsorption performance, good recyclability and easy separation, prGO can be a promising adsorbent for the efficient elimination of p-NP from wastewater in the future.

Abstract During the investigations, functionalization of graphene oxide synthesized using modified Hummers’ method and its reduced form was performed. Mixtures of graphene oxide and reduced graphene oxide with pimelic acid and calcium hydroxide were prepared for functionalization. During the reaction, the molecules of pimelic acid were attached to the surface of graphene sheets. By forming links between the carboxylic groups of pimelic acid and graphene oxide, the durable connection was achieved. The functionalized graphene oxide and the reduced graphene oxide were used as additives in isotactic polypropylene crystallization. The influence of additives on crystallisation in non-isothermal conditions was examined using polarized optical microscopy and differential scanning calorimetry. The effect of the additives on the polypropylene structure was analysed using wide-angle X-ray scattering. For both functionalized compounds, the nucleating ability towards β-form of polypropylene was detected. Both additives showed the increase in the nucleation rate and promotion of growth of the β-form crystals. Nucleation efficiency similar to other nucleating agents used in the crystallization of the β-form of polypropylene was revealed.

The efficient preparation of electromagnetic wave absorbing materials with low density and excellent electromagnetic wave absorption remains a considerable challenge. In this study, reduced graphene oxide (RGO) wrapped Fe3O4 nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized based on one-step reaction by the reduction of graphene oxide (GO), and the generation of super-fine Fe3O4 NPs was achieved. The phase structure, chemical composition, micromorphology, and magnetism were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscope (XPS), scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), respectively. The electromagnetic characteristics were evaluated on a vector network analyzer by the coaxial line method. The results showed that super-fine Fe3O4 NPs with an average size of 6.18 nm are densely distributed on the surface of graphenes. The RGO/Fe3O4 nanocomposites exhibited excellent microwave absorption properties with a minimum reflection loss (RL) of up to −55.71 dB at 6.78 GHz at 3.5 mm thickness and the highest effective absorption bandwidth with RL values exceeding −10 dB is 4.76 GHz between 13.24 and 18 GHz at 1.7 mm thickness. This work provides a concise method for the development of RGO supported super dense Fe3O4 nanocomposites for high performance electromagnetic absorption applications.

Recently, green-prepared oxidized graphenes have attracted huge interest in water purification and wastewater treatment. Herein, reduced graphene oxide (rGO) was prepared by a scalable and eco-friendly method, and its potential use for the removal of methylene blue (MB) from water systems, was explored. The present work includes the green protocol to produce rGO and respective spectroscopical and morphological characterizations, as well as several kinetics, isotherms, and thermodynamic analyses to successfully demonstrate the adsorption of MB. The pseudo-second-order model was appropriated to describe the adsorption kinetics of MB onto rGO, suggesting an equilibrium time of 30 min. Otherwise, the Langmuir model was more suitable to describe the adsorption isotherms, indicating a maximum adsorption capacity of 121.95 mg g−1 at 298 K. In addition, kinetics and thermodynamic analyses demonstrated that the adsorption of MB onto rGO can be treated as a mixed physisorption–chemisorption process described by H-bonding, electrostatic, and π − π interactions. These results show the potential of green-prepared rGO to remove cationic dyes from wastewater systems.
