Microbial graphene oxide reduction is a developing method that serves to reduce both production costs and environmental impact in the synthesis of graphene. This study demonstrates microbial graphene oxide reduction using Shewanella decolorationis NTOU1 under neutral and mild conditions (pH = 7, 35 °C, and 1 atm). Graphene oxide (GO) prepared via the modified Hummers’ method is used as the sole solid electron acceptor, and the characteristics of reduced GO (rGO) are investigated. According to electron microscopic images, the surface structure of GO was clearly changed from smooth to wrinkled after reduction, and whole cells were observed to be wrapped by GO/rGO films. Distinctive appendages on the cells, similar to nanowires or flagella, were also observed. With regard to chemical-bonding changes, after a 24-h reaction of 1 mg mL−1, GO was reduced to rGO, the C/O increased from 1.4 to 3.0, and the oxygen-containing functional groups of rGO were significantly reduced. During the GO reduction process, the number of S. decolorationis NTOU1 cells decreased from 1.65 × 108 to 1.03 × 106 CFU mL−1, indicating the bactericide effects of GO/rGO. In experiments adding consistent concentrations of initial bacteria and lactate, it was shown that with the increase of GO additions (0.5–5.0 mg mL−1), the first-order reaction rate constants (k) of lactate metabolism and acetate production increased accordingly; in experiments adding consistent concentrations of initial bacteria and GO but different lactate levels (1 to 10 mM), the k values of lactate metabolism did not change significantly. The test results of adding different electron transfer mediators showed that riboflavin and potassium ferricyanide were able to boost GO reduction, whereas 2,6-dimethoxy-1,4-benzoquinone and 2,6-dimethyl benzoquinone completely eliminated bacterial activity.

“…The strong agglomeration tendency of graphene sheets significantly reduces their effective surface area and ion-diffusion rate [ 13 ]. Several studies have demonstrated that carbon materials combined with pseudocapacitive materials, such as metal oxides [ 14 , 15 , 16 ], metal hydroxide [ 17 , 18 ], metal sulfides [ 19 , 20 ], metal-organic framework [ 21 , 22 , 23 ], and conducting polymers [ 24 , 25 ], can improve the capacitance of carbon-based supercapacitors because of their synergistic effects.…”

In this study, poly(m-aminophenol) (PmAP) has been investigated as a multi-functional conductive supercapacitor binder to replace the conventional non-conductive binder, namely, poly(vinylene difluoride) (PVDF). The kye benefits of using PmAP are that it is easily soluble in common organic solvent and has good film-forming properties, and also its chemical functionalities can be involved in pseudocapacitive reactions to boost the capacitance performance of the electrode. A new ternary nanocomposite film based on vanadium pentoxide (V2O5), amino-functionalized graphene (amino-FG) and PmAP was fabricated via hydrothermal growth of V2O5 nanoparticles on graphene surfaces and then blending with PmAP/DMSO and solution casting. The electrochemical performances of V2O5/amino-FG/PmAP nanocomposite were evaluated in two different electrolytes, such as KCl and Li2SO4, and compared with those of V2O5/amino-FG nanocomposite with PVDF binder. The cyclic voltametric (CV) results of the V2O5/amino-FG/PmAP nanocomposite exhibited strong pseudocapacitive responses from the V2O5 and PmAP phases, while the faradaic redox reactions on the V2O5/amino-FG/PVDF electrode were suppressed by the inferior conductivity of the PVDF. The V2O5/amino-FG/PmAP electrode delivered a 5-fold greater specific capacitance than the V2O5/amino-FG/PVDF electrode. Solid-state asymmetric supercapacitors (ASCs) were assembled with V2O5/amino-FG/PmAP film as a positive electrode, and their electrochemical properties were examined in both KCl and Li2SO4 electrolytes. Although the KCl electrolyte-based ASC has greater specific capacitance, the Li2SO4 electrolyte-based ASC delivers a higher energy density of 51.6 Wh/kg and superior cycling stability.

In this work, the influence of some types of the pulsed deposition mode of electrochromic films from aqueous solutions of nickel nitrate with the addition of polyvinyl alcohol was investigated. Glass coated with a fluorine-doped tin oxide film was used as the basis for deposition. The deposition of nickel (II) hydroxide – polyvinyl alcohol electrochromic films was carried out in three pulsed modes: –0.2 mA/cm2×5 s, 0 mA/cm2×5 s (10 minutes); –0.5 mA/cm2×2 s, 0 mA/cm2×8 s (10 minutes); –1 mA/cm2×1 s, 0 mA/cm2×9 s. In this case, the amount of electricity used for the formation of thin-film electrodes was the same for all samples. The resulting films showed dramatic differences in electrochemical, optical, and quality characteristics. The sample obtained in the mode of the highest cathode current density and the duration of the no-current condition (1 mA/cm2×1 s, 0 mA/cm2×9 s) had the worst specific capacity and optical characteristics. This sample was characterized by the highest number of coating defects and color non-uniformity as well. The sample, which was obtained at average current densities (–0.5 mA/cm2×2 s, 0 mA/cm2×8 s), had the highest specific characteristics among the electrodes in the series. The coating was uniform and solid. Also, this sample had the greatest stability of the coloration depth value, which varied from 79.1 to 78.1 % (first to fifth cycles). The sample obtained in the mode –0.2 mA/cm2×5 s, 0 mA/cm2×5 s showed moderate specific indicators, however, there were some coating defects. According to the results obtained, a mechanism was proposed that explained the differences in the characteristics of thin-film electrodes formed in different modes. This mechanism consists of changing the time of non-stationary processes and the distribution of the current density with a change in the value of the deposition current density, the duration of the cathode period, and the no-current condition.
