In this research, the ability of transition metals (TM)-doped graphene nanosheets to adsorb toxic gas CO has been investigated. The Langmuir adsorption model was used, with a three-layered ONIOM, using CAM-B3LYP functional accompanying LANL2DZ and 6-31+G (d,p) basis sets, Gaussian 16 revision C.01 program, on complexes adsorbed (Fe, Ni, Zn)-doped nanosheets. order changes charge density for Fe-...

Nb2O5 nanosheets are successfully synthesized through a facile hydrothermal reaction and followed heating treatment in air. The structural characterization reveals that the thickness of these sheets is around 50 nm and the length of sheets is 500 ~ 800 nm. Such a unique two dimensional structure enables the nanosheet electrode with superior performance during the charge-discharge process, such ...

Nickel oxide-decorated graphene nanosheet (NiO/GNS), as a novel non-enzymatic electrocatalyst for glucose oxidation reaction (GOR), was synthesized through a facile hydrothermal route followed by the heat treatment. The successful synthesis of NiO/GNS was characterized by a series of techniques including XRD, BET, SEM and TEM. Significantly, the NiO/GNS catalyst show excellent catalytic activit...

Three-dimensional (3D) hybrid layered materials receive a lot of attention because of their outstanding intrinsic properties and wide applications. In this work, the stability and electronic structure of three-dimensional graphene-MoS2 (3 DGM) hybrid structures are examined based on first-principle calculations. The results reveal that the 3 DGMs can easily self-assembled by graphene nanosheet ...

In this study, adsorption of ten environmentally halogenated aliphatic synthetic organic compounds (SOCs) by a pristine graphene nanosheet (GNS) and a reduced graphene oxide (rGO) was examined, and their adsorption behaviors were compared with those of a single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) and a granular activated carbon (GAC). In addition, the impacts of background water components (i.e., na...

A nanocomposite of silver nanoparticles/reduced graphene oxide (Ag/rGO) has been fabricated as a surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate owing to the large surface area and two-dimensional nanosheet structure of rGO. A facile and rapid microwave-assisted green route has been used for the formation of Ag nanoparticles and the reduction of graphene oxide simultaneously with L-arginine ...

Rheology of graphene oxide (GO) and chemically reduced graphene oxide (RGO) nanosheets suspended in poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) solution were investigated by altering nanosheet loading and reduction time of RGO in a wide range. A small amount (0.5 wt%) of GO and RGO in the dilute regime of filler resulted in a threefold increase and a fourfold decrease in steady viscosity at 0.01 s(-1), respectiv...

In this work, we developed a novel graphene-assisted matrix solid-phase dispersion (GA-MSPD) method for extraction of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and their methoxylated (MeO-) and hydroxylated (OH-) analogs from environmental samples. We found that grinding the solid sample with chemically converted graphene (CCG) powder yielded a tight contact and sufficient dispersion of the sample...

Thin, robust, lightweight, and flexible supercapacitors (SCs) have aroused growing attentions nowadays due to the rapid development of flexible electronics. Graphene-polyaniline (PANI) hybrids are attractive candidates for high performance SCs. In order to utilize them in real devices, it is necessary to improve the capacitance and the structure stability of PANI. Here we report a hierarchical ...

Multilayer films consisting of Eu(OH)(3-x) and titanium oxide nanosheets showed strong Eu(3+) emission under UV-light irradiation, in which the titanium oxide nanosheet works as an antenna collecting UV-light, and then the Eu(OH)(3-x) nanosheet acts as an emitting layer receiving the absorbed energy.
