Abstract
In our study, the electrochemical properties of a novel activated nanocomposite were studied with 2-dimensional graphitic carbon nitride/sodium dodecyl sulfate/graphene nanoplatelets on the screen-printed electrodes (2D-g-C3N4/SDS/GNPs/SPE). The as-fabricated sensor exhibited excellent electrochemical performance, including wide dynamic ranges from 0.03 to 1.0 and 1.0-13.5 μM with a low limit of detection (LOD) of 10.0 nM. The fabricated 2D-g-C3N4/SDS/GNPs/SPE electrode exhibited high sensitivity, stability, good reproducibility, reusability, and repeatability towards DOX sensing. It can be utilized in real samples, including human plasma and urine, with excellent correlations and coefficients of variation below 6.0%. Therefore, this study presents potential application values in sensing DOX with efficient performance. Finally, the accuracy was attested by comparison with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) as the reference method, signalizing a good agreement.

Abstract
We explore structural correlations of strongly asymmetric mixtures of binary charged colloids within the primitive model of electrolytes considering large charge and size ratios of 10 and higher. Using computer simulations with explicit microions, we obtain the partial pair correlation functions between the like-charged colloidal macroions. Interestingly the big-small correlation peak amplitude is smaller than that of the big-big and small-small macroion correlation peaks, which is unfamiliar for additive repulsive interactions. Extracting optimal effective microion-averaged pair interactions between the macroions, we find that on top of non-additive Yukawa-like repulsions an additional shifted Gaussian attractive potential between the small macroions is needed to accurately reproduce their correct pair correlations. For small Coulomb couplings, the behavior is reproduced in a coarse-grained theory with microion-averaged effective interactions between the macroions. However, the accuracy of the theory deteriorates with increasing Coulomb coupling. We emphasize the relevance of entropic interactions exerted by the microions on the macroions. Our results are experimentally verifiable in binary mixtures of micron-sized colloids and like-charge nanoparticles.

Abstract
Graphene is an excellent 2D material that has extraordinary properties such as high surface area, electron mobility, conductivity, and high light transmission. Polymer composites are used in many applications in place of polymers. In recent years, the development of stable graphene dispersions with high graphene concentrations has attracted great attention due to their applications in energy, bio-fields, and so forth. Thus, this review essentially discusses the preparation of stable graphene-polymer composites/dispersions. Discussion on existing methods of preparing graphene is included with their merits and demerits. Among existing methods, mechanical exfoliation is widely used for the preparation of stable graphene dispersion, the theoretical background of this method is discussed briefly. Solvents, surfactants, and polymers that are used for dispersing graphene and the factors to be considered while preparing stable graphene dispersions are discussed in detail. Further, the direct applications of stable graphene dispersions are discussed briefly. Finally, a summary and prospects for the development of stable graphene dispersions are proposed.

Abstract
The traditional freeze-casting route for processing graphene-based aerogels is generally restricted to aqueously dispersed flakes of graphene oxide (GO) and post-processing reduction treatments, which brings restrictions to the aerogels electrical properties. In this work, we report a versatile aqueous processing route that uses the ability of GO todisperse graphene nanoplatelets (GNP) to produce rGO-GNP lamellar aerogels via unidirectional freeze-casting. In order to optimise the properties of the aerogel, GO-GNP dispersions were partially reduced by L-ascorbic acid prior to freeze-casting to tune the carbon and oxygen (C/O) ratio. The aerogels were then heat treated after casting to fully reduce the GO. The chemical reduction time was found to control the microstructure of the resulting aeorgels and thus to tune their electrical and mechanical properties. An rGO-GNP lamellar aerogel with density of 20.8 ± 0.8 mg cm-3 reducing using a reduction of 60 min achieved an electrical conductivity of 42.3 S m-1. On the other hand, an optimal reduction time of 35 min led to an aerogel with compressive modulus of 0.51 ±0.06 MPa at a density of 23.2 ± 0.7 mg cm-3, revealing a compromise between the tuning of electrical and mechanical properties. We show the present processing route can also be easily applied to produce lamellar aerogels on other graphene-based materials such as electrochemically exfoliated graphene.

Abstract
Optimum ultrasonication time will lead to the better performance for heat transfer in addition to preparation methods and thermal properties of the nanofluids. Nano particles are dispersed in base fluids like water (water-based fluids), glycols (glycol base fluids) &oils at different mass or volume fraction by using different preparation techniques. Significant preparation technique can enhance the stability, effects various parameters & thermo-physical properties of fluids. Agglomeration of the dispersed nano particles will lead to declined thermal performance, thermal conductivity, and viscosity. For better dispersion and breaking down the clusters, Ultrasonication method is the highly influential approach. Sonication hour is unique for different nano fluids depending on their response to several considerations. In this review, systematic investigations showing effect on various physical and thermal properties based on ultrasonication/ sonication time are illustrated. In this analysis it is found that increased power or time of ideal sonication increases the dispersion, leading to higher stable fluids, decreased particle size, higher thermal conductivity, and lower viscosity values. Employing the ultrasonic probe is substantially more effective than ultrasonic bath devices. Low ultrasonication power and time provides best outcome. Various sonication time periods by various research are summarized with respect to the different thermophysical properties. This is first review explaining sonication period influence on thermophysical properties of graphene nanofluids.

Abstract
The patients with chronic pain in osteoarthritis often have insufficient pain relief from non-opioids analgesics. Buprenorphine is a promising molecule for symptomatic relief of chronic pain. The marketed parenteral injections and sublingual tablets have short duration of action (half-life = 2.7 h), which is not suitable to manage chronic pain. The purpose of this research was to design buprenorphine-loaded Pluronic F127-reduced graphene oxide transdermal (noninvasive) hydrogel to achieve sustained release of buprenorphine to manage chronic pain in osteoarthritis. Pluronic F127 was used to stabilize the reduced graphene oxide in hydrogel system. The characterization studies including Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and Raman spectroscopy confirmed the synthesis of Pluronic F127-reduced graphene oxide from graphite. The transmission electron microscopy image showed flat nanosheets of reduced graphene oxide (rGO). The developed hydrogel showed desirable pH, viscosity, adhesiveness, hardness, and cohesiveness for transdermal application. The ex vivo release study demonstrated the ability of the Pluronic F127-reduced graphene oxide (P-rGO) hydrogel to prolong release up to 14 days, owing to the strong π-π interactions between the graphene oxide (GO) and the buprenorphine. In cold ethanol tail flick model, the GO hydrogel showed sustained analgesic effect in comparison with hydrogel without rGO. Thus, this study demonstrated the potential of using Pluronic F127-reduced graphene oxide nanocarriers to prolong local analgesia for effective management for chronic pain.

Abstract
Homogeneous graphene dispersions with tunable concentrations are fundamental prerequisites for the preparation of graphene-based materials. Here, a strategy for effectively dispersing graphene using graphene oxide (GO) to produce homogeneous, tunable, and ultrahigh concentration graphene dispersions (>150 mg mL-1 ) is proposed. The structure of GO with abundant edge-bound hydrophilic carboxyl groups and in-plane hydrophobic π-conjugated domains allows it to function as a special "surfactant" that enables graphene dispersion. In acidic solutions, GO sheets tend to form edge-to-edge hydrogen bonds and expose the π-conjugated regions which interact with graphene, thereby promoting graphene dispersion. While in alkaline solutions, GO sheets tend to stack in a surface-to-surface manner, thereby blocking the π-conjugated regions and impeding graphene dispersion. As the concentration of GO-dispersed graphene dispersion (GO/G) increases, a continuous transition between four states is obtained, including a dilute dispersion, a thick paste, a free-standing gel, and a kneadable, playdough-like material. Furthermore, GO/G can be applied to create desirable structures including highly conductive graphene films with excellent flexibility, thereby demonstrating an immense potential in flexible composite materials.

Abstract
We present a versatile and highly substrate-independent approach for preparing multisandwich layers based on thermally reduced Graphene Oxide (rGO) which gets strongly attached by bio-interfactants using a layer-by-layer (LBL) aqueous dipping and rinsing process. The process allows for the deposition of homogeneous ultra-thin films (∼5.5 nm) in distinct surface topographies, thicknesses and compositions by varying the bio-interfactant layer(s). The layers formed on quartz or other semi conductive material are electrically conductive, flexible, and transparent. The here-developed approach could be applied for the fabrication of wearables, sensors, and antistatic transparent films.

Heat Transfer Capability of (Ethylene Glycol + Water)-Based Nanofluids Containing Graphene Nanoplatelets: Design and Thermophysical Profile. NANOSCALE RESEARCH LETTERS 2017; 12:53. [PMID: 28102524 PMCID: PMC5247394 DOI: 10.1186/s11671-016-1806-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/26/2016] [Accepted: 12/17/2016] [Indexed: 05/04/2023]
Abstract
This research aims at studying the stability and thermophysical properties of nanofluids designed as dispersions of sulfonic acid-functionalized graphene nanoplatelets in an (ethylene glycol + water) mixture at (10:90)% mass ratio. Nanofluid preparation conditions were defined through a stability analysis based on zeta potential and dynamic light scattering (DLS) measurements. Thermal conductivity, dynamic viscosity, and density were experimentally measured in the temperature range from 283.15 to 343.15 K and nanoparticle mass concentrations of up to 0.50% by using a transient plate source, a rotational rheometer, and a vibrating-tube technique, respectively. Thermal conductivity enhancements reach up to 5% without a clear effect of temperature while rheological tests evidence a Newtonian behavior of the studied nanofluids. Different equations such as the Nan, Vogel-Fulcher-Tamman (VFT), or Maron-Pierce (MP) models were utilized to describe the temperature or nanoparticle concentration dependences of thermal conductivity and viscosity. Finally, different figures of merit based on the experimental values of thermophysical properties were also used to compare the heat transfer capability and pumping power between nanofluids and base fluid.

Abstract
Interparticle interactions and bulk properties of colloidal suspensions can be substantially modified by the addition of nanoparticles. Extreme asymmetries in size and charge between colloidal particles and nanoparticles present severe computational challenges to molecular-scale modeling of such complex systems. We present a statistical mechanical theory of effective electrostatic interactions that can greatly ease large-scale modeling of charged colloid-nanoparticle mixtures. By applying a sequential coarse-graining procedure, we show that a multicomponent mixture of charged colloids, nanoparticles, counterions, and coions can be mapped first onto a binary mixture of colloids and nanoparticles and then onto a one-component model of colloids alone. In a linear-response approximation, the one-component model is governed by a single effective pair potential and a one-body volume energy, whose parameters depend nontrivially on nanoparticle size, charge, and concentration. To test the theory, we perform molecular dynamics simulations of the two-component and one-component models and compute structural properties. For moderate electrostatic couplings, colloid-colloid radial distribution functions and static structure factors agree closely between the two models, validating the sequential coarse-graining approach. Nanoparticles of sufficient charge and concentration enhance screening of electrostatic interactions, weakening correlations between charged colloids and destabilizing suspensions, consistent with experiments.

Abstract
In this work, the hybrid structures were created by electrochemical etching of silicon wafer and deposition of reduced graphene oxide (RGO) on the porous silicon (PS) layer. With the help of SEM and AFM, the formation of hybrid PS-RGO structure was confirmed. By means of current-voltage characteristic analysis and impedance spectroscopy, we studied electrical characteristics of PS-RGO structures. The formation of photosensitive electrical barriers in hybrid structures was revealed. Temporal parameters and spectral characteristics of photoresponse in the 400-1100-nm wavelength range were investigated. The widening of spectral range of photosensitivity of the hybrid structures in short-wavelength range in comparison with single-crystal silicon was revealed. The obtained results broaden the prospects of application of the PS-RGO structures in photoelectronics.

Abstract
The obvious incongruity between the increasing depletion of fossil fuel and the finite amount of resources has motivated us to seek means to maintain sustainability in our society. Developing renewable and highly efficient energy conversion and storage systems represents one of the most promising and viable methods. Although the efficiency of energy conversion and storage devices depends on various factors, their overall performances strongly rely on the structure and functional properties of materials. Graphene and its derivatives as versatile templates for materials synthesis have garnered widespread interest because of their flexible capability to tune the morphology and structure of functional materials. Herein, we have demonstrated recent progress on graphene and its derivatives as versatile templates for materials synthesis, particularly highlighting the basic fundamental roles of graphene in the materials preparation process. Then, a concise overview of the functional applications of materials obtained from graphene-templated approaches has been presented with a few selected examples to show the wide scope of potential in energy storage and conversion. Finally, a brief perspective and potential future challenges in this burgeoning research area have been discussed.

Abstract
We studied an effect of the graphene oxide (GO) layer on the optical and electrical properties of porous silicon (PS) in hybrid PS-GO structure created by electrochemical etching of silicon wafer and deposition of GO from water dispersion on PS. With the help of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic-force microscopy (AFM), and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, it was established that GO formed a thin film on the PS surface and is partly embedded in the pores of PS. A comparative analysis of the FTIR spectra for the PS and PS-GO structures confirms the passivation of the PS surface by the GO film. This film has a sufficient transparency for excitation and emission of photoluminescence (PL). Moreover, GO modifies PL spectrum of PS, shifting the PL maximum by 25 nm towards lower energies. GO deposition on the surface of the porous silicon leads to the change in the electrical parameters of PS in AC and DC modes. By means of current-voltage characteristics (CVC) and impedance spectroscopy, it is shown that the impact of GO on electrical characteristics of PS manifests in reduced capacitance and lower internal resistance of hybrid structures.

Abstract
Electrostatic stabilization is reduced in its efficiency in an electrolyte-containing environment. The effect of electrolyte concentration is mostly described as negative factor for dispersion stabilization. Usually, zeta potential and physical stability decrease at increasing electrolyte concentration. The purpose of the present study was to measure the surface properties of nanotubes in aqueous solution of monovalent electrolytes at different concentration. Characteristics such as size distribution, surface chemistry, surface charge, and dispersability in aqueous phase have been identified. Hydrodynamic size and zeta potential in aqueous multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) suspensions were determined at different pH with the desired concentrations of electrolyte of the cationic group (NaCl, KCl, CsCl) and the anionic group (NaClO4). The correlations between the response of the surface functionality of pristine and oxidized multiwalled carbon nanotubes and electrical double layer (EDL) forming at different ionic environments in the vicinity of a nanotube surface were determined. The nanotube dispersion stabilization was found to be more affected by ion size and pH medium then electrolyte concentration. The data obtained confirms the predominant role of surface reactions. The most stable dispersion of nanotubes was achieved in KCl electrolyte solution at less negative charge of the surface.

Abstract
Thin-film elastomers (elastic polymers) have a number of technologically significant applications ranging from sportswear to medical devices. In this work, we demonstrate that graphene can be used to reinforce 20 micron thin elastomer films, resulting in over 50% increase in elastic modulus at a very low loading of 0.1 wt%, while also increasing the elongation to failure. This loading is below the percolation threshold for electrical conductivity. We demonstrate composites with both graphene oxide and reduced graphene oxide, the reduction being undertaken in-situ or ex-situ using a biocompatible reducing agent in ascorbic acid. The ultrathin films were cast by dip moulding. The transparency of the elastomer films allows us to use optical microscopy image and confirm the uniform distribution as well as the conformation of the graphene flakes within the composite.

Abstract
Graphene oxide (GO), as a typical two-dimensional material, possesses a range of oxygen-containing groups and shows surfactant and/or polyelectrolyte-like characteristics. Herein, GO sheets with narrow size distribution were prepared by an ultracentrifugation-based process and the aggregation behaviour of GO in pure water and an electrolyte aqueous solution were studied using laser light scattering (LLS). When adding common electrolytes, such as NaCl and MgCl2, into the GO dispersions, aggregation occurs and irreversible coagulation eventually occurs too. However, the GO dispersion can still remain stable when adding excess AlCl3. The zeta potential of the GO dispersion changes from negative to positive after the addition of access AlCl3, indicating that electrostatic repulsion is still responsible for the dispersion of GO, which is in good agreement with the LLS results. This finding on the dispersion of GO may be applied in the solution processing of GO. It also expands the scope of the design and preparation of new GO-based hybrid materials with different functions.
