Reduced graphene oxide–epoxy grafted poly(styrene-co-acrylate) composites (GESA) were prepared by anchoring different amount of epoxy modified poly(styrene-co-acrylate) (EPSA) onto reduced graphene oxide (rGO) sheets through π–π electrostatic attraction. The GESA composites were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The anti-corrosion properties of rGO/EPSA composites were evaluated by electro-chemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) in hydroxyl-polyacrylate coating, and the results revealed that the corrosion rate was decreased from 3.509 × 10−1 to 1.394 × 10−6 mm/a.

Na-doped reduced graphene oxide (Na-rGO) was prepared by wet mixing process of the reduced graphene oxide (rGO) in NaOH solution. The results showed that the rGO doped with Na ions can increase its magnetization approximately 2 times greater than that in rGO without doping. Saturation magnetization (Ms) for rGO and Na-rGO samples are 0.017 emu/g and 0.037 emu/g, respectively. The increasing value of magnetization is suggested to be due to defect presented in the Na-rGO samples. Both samples, rGO and Na-rGO, have the similar XRD (X-ray Diffraction) spectra that is marked by two characteristic diffraction peaks of rGO, which are associated with [002] and [10] planes, followed by the increasing inter-planar distance in Na-rGO samples which might be due to Na ions intercalation into rGO sheets, confirmed by the energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) result revealing the presence of Na atoms in rGO.

In this study, a reduced graphene oxide anchored nZVI/Al hybrid (rGO@nZVI/Al) was synthesized for effective degradation of chloramphenicol (CAP) at neutral pH just through the activation of dissolved oxygen (DO). The morphology and physicochemical features of rGO@nZVI/Al were characterized with the field emission scanning electron microscopy combined with energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), Brunauer-Emmet-Teller surface area analysis (BET) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The CAP removal by rGO@nZVI/Al was conducted at neutral pH, and the performance of rGO@nZVI/Al for DO activation was also estimated in view of the effect of various systems. The reusability of rGO@nZVI/Al was investigated through the cycle tests and the variation of UV spectrum for further application.


A simple eco friendly preparation of reduced graphene oxide from graphene oxide using strawberry extract is reported. As prepared reduced graphene oxide were characterized by X-Ray Diffraction, UV-Vis spectroscopy, Scaning electron microscopy and degradation performane of MB. The reduced graphene oxide was effectively degradation of MB.

The use of reduced graphene oxide (r-GO) is a promising way of fabricating organic–inorganic composites with unique electrical and magnetic properties. In our work, polystyrene/r-GO composites were synthesized, in which both the components are linked together by covalent bonds. The r-GO used differs from the graphene obtained from graphite through mechanical exfoliation using the ‘scotch tape’ by presenting many structural defects. Binding in the composite structure between the components was confirmed by infrared spectroscopy. Elemental analysis was carried out by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. Scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and Raman spectroscopy were used to monitor the 2D-order in exfoliated r-GO galleries. Using a vibrating-sample magnetometer, we have shown that the composite magnetization loops demonstrate type-II superconductivity up to room temperature due to r-GO flakes. We believe that a strain field in the r-GO flakes covalently binding to a polymeric matrix is responsible for the superconductivity phenomena.
