In situ-Electrochemically reduced graphene oxide integrated with cross-linked supramolecular polymeric network for electrocatalytic hydrogen evaluation reaction

Poly(methylene blue) and electrochemically reduced graphene oxide composite film modified electrode (PMB-ERGO/GCE) was successfully fabricated by electropolymerization and was used for simultaneous determination of uric acid (UA) and xanthine (Xa). Based on the excellent electrocatalytic activity of PMB-ERGO/GCE, the electrochemical behaviors of UA and Xa were studied by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and square wave voltammetry (SWV). Two anodic sensitive peaks at 0.630 V (versus Ag/AgCl) for UA and 1.006 V (versus Ag/AgCl) for Xa were given by CV in pH 3.0 phosphate buffer. The calibration curves for UA and Xa were obtained in the range of 8.00 × 10−8~4.00 × 10−4 M and 1.00 × 10−7~4.00 × 10−4 M, respectively, by SWV. The detection limits for UA and Xa were3.00×10-8 M and5.00×10-8 M, respectively. Finally, the proposed method was applied to simultaneously determine UA and Xa in human urine with good selectivity and high sensitivity.

AbstractThis paper studies in-situ synthesis of Fe2O3/reduced graphene oxide (rGO) anode materials by different hydrothermal process.Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) analysis has found that different processes can control the morphology of graphene and Fe2O3. The morphologies of Fe2O3 prepared by the hydrothermal in-situ and oleic acid-assisted hydrothermal in-situ methods are mainly composed of fine spheres, while PVP assists The thermal in-situ law presents porous ellipsoids. Graphene exhibits typical folds and small lumps. X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) analysis results show that Fe2O3/reduced graphene oxide (rGO) is generated in different ways. Also, the material has good crystallinity, and the crystal form of the iron oxide has not been changed after adding GO. It has been reduced, and a characteristic peak appears around 25°, indicating that a large amount of reduced graphene exists. The results of the electrochemical performance tests have found that the active materials prepared in different processes have different effects on the cycle performance of lithium ion batteries. By comprehensive comparison for these three processes, the electro-chemical performance of the Fe2O3/rGO prepared by the oleic acid-assisted hydrothermal method is best.

Modified Hummers Method

Functionalized knitted fabric, as a kind of flexible, wearable, and waterproof material capable of conductivity, sensitivity and outstanding hydrophobicity, is valuable for multi-field applications. Herein, the reduced graphene oxide (RGO)-coated knitted fabric (polyester/spandex blended) is prepared, which involves the use of graphite oxide (GO) by modified Hummers method and in-situ chemical reduction with hydrazine hydrate. The treated fabric exhibits a high electrical conductivity (202.09 S/cm) and an outstanding hydrophobicity (140°). The outstanding hydrophobicity is associated with the morphology of the fabric and fiber with reference to pseudo-infiltration. These properties can withstand repeated bending and washing without serious deterioration, maintaining good electrical conductivity (35.70 S/cm) and contact angle (119.39°) after eight standard washing cycles. The material, which has RGO architecture and continuous loop mesh structure, can find wide use in smart garment applications.
