In this work, silver nanoparticle- (AgNP-) embedded graphene oxide- (GO-) TiO2 nanotube (TNT) nanocomposite (labelled GAT) was successfully synthesized by gamma ray radiolysis. The influence of irradiation process, including one-step and two-step assistances and at different irradiation doses (5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 kGy), on the GAT’s physicochemical properties was achieved. Structure and properties of irradiated materials were analyzed by Fourier-transformed infrared (FT-IR), ultraviolet-visible absorption (UV-Vis), and Raman spectroscopies; X-ray diffraction (XRD); and scanning electron (SEM) and transmission electron (TEM) microscopies. In addition, selective scavengers of e-aq and ⋅OH radicals were used to investigate the radiolytic synthesis of GAT nanocomposite. It was revealed that gamma ray irradiation could strongly support the relation of the composite synthesis. Furthermore, the synthesized GAT nanocomposites showed a significant effect for Rhodamine B (RhB) photodecomposition after 60 minutes of natural sunlight exposure and evaluation by UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy. Briefly, the obtained results highlighted the potential of gamma irradiation as a “clean” and controllable way for synthesizing beneficial nanocomposite materials for wastewater purification and other environmental aspects.

Tetranitro-cobalt phthalocyanine/reduced graphene oxide (TNCoPc/RGO) composite was prepared using ethylene glycol as reducing agent and precursor. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) were used to characterize the composite. The electrochemical performance of the composite was examined by cyclic voltammetry and rotating disk electrode. The SEM observation and UV-Vis absorption spectrophotometer reveal that TNCoPc nanoparticles are closely contacted with RGO. The results show that the composite has a larger peak current and a higher current density than TNCoPc for oxygen reduction in an alkaline medium. This work offers a simple and environmental route for the synthesis of metal phthalocyanine (MPc)/RGO, which is adaptable to a wide range of applications in fuel cells.

Gamma-irradiation effects on graphene oxide (GO) in a monoglyceride/ethanol (MG/EtOH) solution was investigated.  GO was dispersed in MG/EtOH solution (GOM) with the GO: MG ratio of 1:10 (w/w). The prepared GOM was irradiated by g-ray under nitrogen atmosphere in a range of absorbed dose from 0 to 50 kGy. The characteristics and morphology of reduced GOM were analyzed by Ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). The results confirmed that the structure of reduced graphene oxide in monoglyceride solution was changed and exfoliated completely after g-ray irradiation at absorbed dose 50 kGy compared with non-irradiation sample.

Ag/rGO composites were synthesized under gamma irradiation using silver nitrate and graphene oxide (GO) as the starting materials. Comparing with traditional methods, gamma irradiation is a simple and “green” technique. In the irradiation system, silver ions were reduced to silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) by the electrons generated from the radiolysis of solvent. GO nanosheets provided reactive sites for the formation of AgNPs and acted as a colloidal surfactant preventing the aggregation of AgNPs. Meanwhile, GO were partially reduced to reduced graphene oxide (rGO). X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscope, transmission electron microscope, Raman spectra and UV-Vis absorption spectra were applied for the characterization of Ag/rGO composites. The results showed that the absorbed dose (3.1 kGy, 4.7 kGy, 9.4 kGy and 27.4 kGy) plays an important role in the size distribution of AgNPs and the reduction degree of GO nanosheetes. The Ag/rGO composites exhibit a broad absorption band at visible light due to the surface plasmon resonance of AgNPs. Because of the unique surface properties, Ag/rGO composites behave enhanced performance for the adsorption of organic dye from water.
