The NiO nanocrystalline/reduced graphene oxide (rGO) composite film was successfully synthesized using a simple hot-injection and dip coating method. The as-prepared samples were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman, scanning electron microscope (SEM), ultraviolet and visible spectrophotometer (UV). Compared to the NiO film, the NiO nanocrystalline/rGO composite film exhibits enhanced electrochromic properties and large [Formula: see text] (40.7% at 550[Formula: see text]nm), fast switching speed ([Formula: see text].3[Formula: see text]s and [Formula: see text].9[Formula: see text]s), high coloration efficiency (12.85[Formula: see text]cm2 C[Formula: see text] and better cycling performance (1000 cycles). The improvement of the electrochromic properties was attributed to the large specific surface area and good conductivity of the rGO.

A green reduction processes for graphene oxide using carob extract is reported in this work. In this study, graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets were synthesized using the improved Hummer's method and applied to polyamide fabric thorough the simple dip coating method. Then, the graphene oxide was reduced with a chemical reduction process using carob extract as a green reducing agent to give the reduced graphene oxide (RGO) material. The reduction time was studied. The structure, morphology, and thermal behavior of the material was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), respectively. The electrical resistivity results clearly revealed that the GO coated polyamide fabric was successfully converted to the RGO coated polyamide fabric with the effective elimination of oxygen containing functional groups.

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.

New Applications

Carbon nanomaterials have recently attracted wide scientific applications due to their tunable properties. These novel materials act as best fillers that can provide substantial benefits due to their high strength, thermal conductivity, and electrical conductivities. With their huge applications as bulk materials, when implemented in polymer matrix as fillers, they give rise to new promising materials with which their properties can be tuned to suit a particular application. Besides the development of these new nanocomposite materials, there exist some challenges which must be fully surpassed to explore the potentiality of application of carbon-based nanocomposites. Reduced graphene oxide is one of the carbon derivatives which has attracted the current advancement in technology, and recently, it found its new applications in super capacitors used in electronic industries. The limiting factor for its exploration is the affordability. New and affordable sources of these graphene-based nanomaterial have to be devised, for fully realization of their potential applications. In this study, reduced graphene oxide and the bio-polymer chitosan were extracted from the locally available bio waste materials. Nanocomposites were prepared at 50% rGO: chitosan ratio. The films were then prepared by spin coating method. Prepared films were subjected to morphological analysis. From the results, it was observed that rGO induced chitosan crystallization, which led to formation of dendritic structures. Cellulose nanocrystals have thus displayed temperature dependent positive uniaxial birefringence
