Graphene film electrodes have many important applications, but the fabriacion of these electrodes is difficult dues to the poor processing of graphene. This article describes the preliminary results of using 3D printing technology to fabricate thin-film electrodes from graphene oxide inks. Graphene oxide ink is synthesized by chemical method. The graphene oxide (GO) and reduction graphene oxide (r GO) thin film were chacracterized by filed scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and Energy-dispersive X-ray spectrocopy (EDX spectrocopy) to make sure the morphological and optical characteristics of the thin film. In addition, the electrochemical aera active studies were also determined by cyclic voltametry (CV) curves. The r GO thin film displays higher electrochemical area active in comparison with GO, which is 2.56 cm2 compare to 0.31 cm2, indicating the best result for the superior conductivity of thin film electrode.

In this study, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was used to study chitosan–graphene oxide (chitosan–GO) incorporated with 4-(2-pyridylazo)resorcinol (PAR) and cadmium sulfide quantum dot (CdS QD) composite thin films for the potential optical sensing of cobalt ions (Co2+). From the XPS results, it was confirmed that carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen elements existed on the PAR–chitosan–GO thin film, while for CdS QD–chitosan–GO, the existence of carbon, oxygen, cadmium, nitrogen, and sulfur were confirmed. Further deconvolution of each element using the Gaussian–Lorentzian curve fitting program revealed the sub-peak component of each element and hence the corresponding functional group was identified. Next, investigation using surface plasmon resonance (SPR) optical sensor proved that both chitosan–GO-based thin films were able to detect Co2+ as low as 0.01 ppm for both composite thin films, while the PAR had the higher binding affinity. The interaction of the Co2+ with the thin films was characterized again using XPS to confirm the functional group involved during the reaction. The XPS results proved that primary amino in the PAR–chitosan–GO thin film contributed more important role for the reaction with Co2+, as in agreement with the SPR results.

Polystyrene as a thin film on arbitrary substrates or pellets form defective graphene/graphitic films or powders that can be dispersed in water and organic solvents. The materials were characterized by visible absorption, Raman and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, electron and atomic force microscopy, and electrochemistry. Raman spectra of these materials showed the presence of the expected 2D, G, and D peaks at 2750, 1590, and 1350 cm−1, respectively. The relative intensity of the G versus the D peak was taken as a quantitative indicator of the density of defects in the G layer.

In this study, reduced graphene oxide-TiO2 (RGO-TiO2) thin film was prepared by a simple self-assembly method at the gas/liquid interface. The as-prepared thin films were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectra, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), UV-visible-diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-vis-DRS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Photocatalytic activities of TiO2 and RGO-TiO2 thin film were investigated via the reduction of Cr(VI) under simulated solar light and visible light (λ > 420 nm) irradiation. The results showed that the RGO-TiO2 thin film exhibited remarkably enhanced activity for photoreduction of Cr(VI) under simulated sunlight or visible light irradiation, with a reaction rate constant of 5.7 times greater than that of pure TiO2 thin film. The main reason for enhanced photocatalytic activity is that introduction of RGO can restrain the recombination of photogenerated electron–hole pairs and reduce the aggregation of TiO2 NPs. The effects of different reaction parameters such as irradiation time, irradiation source, pH values, catalyst dosage and initial Cr(VI) concentration were investigated in detail. The highest photoreduction efficiency of Cr(VI) was achieved and the reduction rate constant k was 0.0189 min−1 during the reduction of 0.5 mg L−1 of Cr(VI) with 10 cm2 RGO-TiO2 thin film at pH 2.0 and 293 K. Moreover, different scavengers were also added in the photoreduction of Cr(VI) system to identify the reactive species. Based on the results of the present study, a possible mechanism of photoreduction on RGO-TiO2 thin film under simulated solar light was proposed. Overall, this study provides a novel approach to efficiently photoreduction of Cr(VI) by RGO-TiO2 thin film.
