We present a general study on a high performance supercapacitor based on intercalated reduced graphene oxide with carbon black nanoparticles. Graphene oxide sheets were synthesized by oxidation and exfoliation of natural graphite and were reduced using hydroiodic acid in the presence of carbon black nanoparticles. Graphene paper was fabricated by one-step procedure via simultaneous reducing and...

Graphene based materials e.g., graphene oxide (GO), reduced (RGO) and nano platelets (GNP) as well Barium titanate (BaTiO3) are emerging reinforcing agents which upon mixing with epoxy provides composite superior mechanical, electrical thermal properties shielding against electromagnetic (EM) radiations. Inclusion of the aforementioned has shown to improve performance, however, extent improveme...

Idiopathic thrombocytopenia purpura (ITP) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by isolated thrombocytopenia and mucocutaneous bleeding. The former has a primary role in the diagnosis and treatment of ITP. One of the leading causes of miscounted platelets in patients who suffer from ITP is giant platelets which may indicate factitiously a severe false thrombocytopenia. Here, a case of macroth...

graphene oxide was prepared using modified hummers method. stable ethylene-glycol nanofluids containing graphene oxide nanosheets were provided. nd: yag pulsed laser was applied to prepare reduced nanofluids. experimental results revealed that thermal conductivity of the nanofluids is increased with increasing the concentration of graphene oxide (go) in ethylene glycol. the enhancement ratio of...

Graphene nano platelets (GNP) have several attractive properties, including excellent lubricity that can be used to develop wear-resistant coatings. Thermally sprayed chromium carbide–nickel (Cr3C2–NiCr) coatings are widely employed impart wear resistance engineering components. This work attempts improve the of high velocity air fuel (HVAF) Cr3C2–NiCr by incorporating GNP using a hybrid approa...

in this study ptfeco ternary alloys nanoparticles of three dimentional (3d) rhombus shapes dispersed on graphene nanosheets (ptfeco/gr) were successfully prepared and studied as electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (orr) in polymer-electrolyte fuel cells. a combination of analytical techniques including powder x-ray diffraction, x-ray photoelectron spectra, inductively coupled plasma-...

graphene sheet including single vacancy, double vacancy and stone-wales with armchair and zigzag structure was simulated using molecular dynamics simulation. the effect of defects on shear’s modulus, shear strength and fracture  strain was investigated. results showed that these shear properties reduce when the degrees of all kinds of defects increase. the dangling bond in sv and dv defected gr...

this paper presents the thermal vibration analysis of double-layer graphene sheet embedded in polymer elastic medium, using the plate theory and nonlocal continuum mechanics for small scale effects. the graphene is modeled based on continuum plate theory and the axial stress caused by the thermal effects is also considered. nonlocal governing equations of motion for this double-layer graphene s...

in the present work, graphene was synthesized by chemical vapor deposition (cvd) method. the structure of graphene was then confirmed by x-ray diffraction (xrd) and scanning electron microscope (tem) images. after that, mixed acid method (h2so4/hno3) was used to make the structure of synthesized graphenehydrophilic. in this method, carboxylate and hydroxide groups were linked to the edges of gr...
