“…2, the XRD patterns of GO, NGr-NiO-M and NGr-NiO can be observed, respectively. For GO, the diffraction peak appear at 2q ¼ 10.9 which is typically corresponding to the (001) plane with an expanding interlayer spacing of about 0.94 nm for the reason that the decoration of oxygenfunctional groups on the surface of GO [38]. The diffraction peaks located at 2q ¼ 37 , 43 , 63 , 75 and 79 as shown in Fig.…”
