Abstract
In this study, silicon dioxide nanoparticles (SiO2NPs) mixed with reduced graphene oxide nanosheets (rGONS) and hybrid nanocomposites (S/rGOHNCs) were synthesized to study the opto-electrical, physical and electrochemical properties. S/rGOx%HNCs samples with rGONS at various loadings (10, 30, 50, and 70 wt%) were prepared SiO2NPs and rGONS suspensions in ultrasonication process by conventional heating. The SiO2NPs, rGONS and S/rGOx%HNCs were characterized and properties confirmed by XRD, Raman spectroscopy, FT-IR spectra, UV–Vis, SEM, EDX and TGA techniques. The electrical conductivity carrier concentration, energy gap, and dielectric constant increased with rGONS loading. The S/rGO30HNCs exhibited the highest thermal conductivity, 0.7 W/m·K, and Vickers microhardness, 41.0 HV. The value of electrochemical capacity of S/rGO70HNCs, 66.95 F/g, was due to the appropriate ratio of rGONS and SiO2NPs which significantly contributed to increasing redox reaction. The findings offered SiO2NPs mixed rGONS hybrid nanocomposites with enhanced optoelectrical (electrical, optical, dielectric), physical (mechanical, thermal) and electrochemical properties.
期刊介绍:
DRM is a leading international journal that publishes new fundamental and applied research on all forms of diamond, the integration of diamond with other advanced materials and development of technologies exploiting diamond. The synthesis, characterization and processing of single crystal diamond, polycrystalline films, nanodiamond powders and heterostructures with other advanced materials are encouraged topics for technical and review articles. In addition to diamond, the journal publishes manuscripts on the synthesis, characterization and application of other related materials including diamond-like carbons, carbon nanotubes, graphene, and boron and carbon nitrides. Articles are sought on the chemical functionalization of diamond and related materials as well as their use in electrochemistry, energy storage and conversion, chemical and biological sensing, imaging, thermal management, photonic and quantum applications, electron emission and electronic devices.
The International Conference on Diamond and Carbon Materials has evolved into the largest and most well attended forum in the field of diamond, providing a forum to showcase the latest results in the science and technology of diamond and other carbon materials such as carbon nanotubes, graphene, and diamond-like carbon. Run annually in association with Diamond and Related Materials the conference provides junior and established researchers the opportunity to exchange the latest results ranging from fundamental physical and chemical concepts to applied research focusing on the next generation carbon-based devices.
