Abstract The heterostructure consisting of zinc oxide and reduced graphene (ZnO/rGO/ZnO) is prepared on cotton fabric by repeated immersion magnetron sputtering. In addition, the gas selectivity sample analyzed based I-V characteristics under different atmospheres (air, methanal, ethanol, acetone toluene). Compare with that in air atmosphere, characteristic curve toluene atmosphere changes sign...

Reduced graphene oxide (rGO) was applied to prepare various composites of rGO/photocatalyst of G/TiO2, G/ZnO and G/Ta2O5, using titanium (IV) isopropoxide, Zn powder and commercial Ta2O5 powder as photocatalyst precursors, respectively. X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), thermogravimetric-differential t...

Photocatalytic activity of semiconductor nanostructures is gaining much importance in recent years in both energy and environmental applications. However, several parameters play a crucial role in enhancing or suppressing the photocatalytic activity through, for example, modifying the band gap energy positions, influencing the generation and transport of charge carriers and altering the recombi...

This work aims at the development of a method electromagnetic activation salicylic acid molecules per se (SA) through ultrasonic (20 kHz) complexation with oxidized zinc-graphene structure.

For the first time, acrylonitrile–butadiene rubber (NBR)–graphene oxide (GO) and reduced graphene (rGO) composites were prepared without cure activators: zinc oxide/stearic acid (ZnO/SA) studied. The vulcanization characteristics of compounds systematically studied at 160–190°C, with aid rheometer differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) techniques. NBR revealed rapid curing time (t90) greater r...
