Ionic-liquid-assisted facile synthesis of silver nanoparticle-reduced graphene oxide hybrids by gamma irradiation

In suit growth of ultradispersed NiCo2S4 nanoparticles on graphene for asymmetric supercapacitors

“…The d-spacing of 0.54 nm and 0.28 nm corresponds to the (111) and (311) plane of NiCo 2 S 4 , respectively [14,38]. Moreover, the wrinkle of GR show the GR is composed of 1-2 layers and the interlayer spacing is about 0.38 nm, which is consistent with the previous report [40]. As for the diffraction rings shown in Fig.…”

Tuning the grade of graphene: Gamma ray irradiation of free-standing graphene oxide films in gaseous phase

“…Alternative non-invasive functionalization routes, such as hard X-ray lithography, were previously shown to lead to effective and specific functionalization of thick arrays of carbon nanotubes by interfering with the surface electronic density of the graphitic walls in air, which lead to the formation of highly crystalline, but yet hydrophilic nanotubes [27]. Recently, radiation chemistry by gamma ray irradiation, a simple and efficient strategy to uniformly induce chemical reactions in solutions via production of reactive radicals [27,28] has been used to reduce GO suspended either in aqueous solution or organic solvents [29][30][31][32][33][34][35]. Radicals, such as ethoxy or hydronium [36,37] generated across the solvent act as reducing agents against oxygen functional groups present on the GO surface.…”

Synthesis of polymer/rGO/SnO2 hierarchical structure and its photodegradation of organic pollutants

“…C 1s XPS spectrum (Fig. 4b) shows binding energies at 284.6 eV (C-C, sp 2 ), 285.6 eV (C-OH/C-NH), 286.7 eV (C-O), and 289.1 eV (O-C=O) [24,25]. XPS spectrum for Sn 3d (Fig.…”
