“…This decrease may be caused by rGO's functional groups that include oxygen, which can cause the optical band gap to become narrow. 49 In nanomaterials with a narrower bandgap, the electrons can move from the VB to the CB more easily. This suggests increased electrical conductivity and electron concentration for NiCu/rGO.…”
In our DAMFC study, NiCu/rGO has stronger catalytic activity than pure NiCu and NiCu/GO composites. rGO and GO supporters improved the NiCu performance by 468.2% and 377.7% in methanol and by 255.6% and 105.9% in ethanol, respectively.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
