Large-scale synthesis of graphene by the reduction of graphene oxide at room temperature using metal nanoparticles as catalyst

Preparation of lamellar carbon matrix for sulfur as cathode material of lithium-sulfur batteries

“…The absorption band at 1597 cm -1 corresponds to vibration of C-C in graphitic zones [29]. The absorption band at 1708 cm -1 is related to vibration of C=O [31]. The band at 3437 cm -1 is similar to that of acetylene black.…”

Graphene based metal and metal oxide nanocomposites: synthesis, properties and their applications

“…134 More recently, metal-mediated reduction of graphene oxide has been reported that is environmentally friendly and leads to faster reduction. 135 In a recent report Fan et al described an efficient route for the synthesis of graphene via a reduction of GRO with aluminum powder. 136 The reaction was carried out in acidic medium (HCl solution) and completed in a short time (~30 min).…”

Controllable synthesis of reduced graphene oxide

“…Since the discovery of graphene in 2004 [6], it has been used in diverse fields, such as electronics [7], batteries [8,9], biological sensors [10] and supercapacitors [11,12], etc. In recent years, graphene has been prepared by a variety of methods, for instance, mechanical exfoliation [6], chemical vapor deposition [13], epitaxial growth [14] and chemical reduction of graphite oxide (GO) [15,16], etc. Thereinto, chemical reduction has drawn special attention on account of its simplicity, reliability and well-controlled reduction degree [17,18].…”
