Abstract
In this study, graphene oxide (GO) and silver nanowires (AgNWs) were synthesized using modified Hummers and polyol methods, respectively, and incorporated into a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) matrix to prepare GO/AgNWs/PVA nanocomposites with varying GO concentrations (1 %, 2 %, 3 %, and 5 %). Structural characterization using XRD revealed that increasing GO content reduced the crystallinity of the PVA matrix, while AgNWs retained their crystalline structure. TEM and SEM analyses showed that the distribution of fillers was homogeneous, although higher GO content led to increased porosity and microcracks on the surface. Optical studies demonstrated that the band gap of the composites decreased systematically with higher GO content from 1.83 eV at 1 % GO to 1.47 eV at 5 % GO in the GO/AgNWs/PVA samples indicating strong interaction between the free electrons of AgNWs and charge carriers in GO. The formation of an additional potential field at the metal–semiconductor interface significantly influenced the energy spectrum of the composites. These results suggest that careful control of the GO and AgNW content allows tailoring of the structural and optical properties of polymer-based nanocomposites for optoelectronic applications.
期刊介绍:
Nano-Structures & Nano-Objects is a new journal devoted to all aspects of the synthesis and the properties of this new flourishing domain. The journal is devoted to novel architectures at the nano-level with an emphasis on new synthesis and characterization methods. The journal is focused on the objects rather than on their applications. However, the research for new applications of original nano-structures & nano-objects in various fields such as nano-electronics, energy conversion, catalysis, drug delivery and nano-medicine is also welcome. The scope of Nano-Structures & Nano-Objects involves: -Metal and alloy nanoparticles with complex nanostructures such as shape control, core-shell and dumbells -Oxide nanoparticles and nanostructures, with complex oxide/metal, oxide/surface and oxide /organic interfaces -Inorganic semi-conducting nanoparticles (quantum dots) with an emphasis on new phases, structures, shapes and complexity -Nanostructures involving molecular inorganic species such as nanoparticles of coordination compounds, molecular magnets, spin transition nanoparticles etc. or organic nano-objects, in particular for molecular electronics -Nanostructured materials such as nano-MOFs and nano-zeolites -Hetero-junctions between molecules and nano-objects, between different nano-objects & nanostructures or between nano-objects & nanostructures and surfaces -Methods of characterization specific of the nano size or adapted for the nano size such as X-ray and neutron scattering, light scattering, NMR, Raman, Plasmonics, near field microscopies, various TEM and SEM techniques, magnetic studies, etc .
