복합재료 제작 기술은 저비용, 유연성 그리고 용이한 가공성 등을 그대로 유지하면서 필러(filler)의 특성을 부여하는 방법을 지향하고 있으며 다양한 기능성 복합재료 개발로 이루어지고 있다. 기능성 복합재 구현과 관련하여 그래핀(Graphene)을 필러로 사용하는 복합재료의 고성능화 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 기능성 물성치 향상을 위해 많이 사용되는 그래핀을 이용하여 물리 화학적 물성치를 고찰하였다. 대표적 filler인 graphane nanoplatelet(GNP)을 사용하여 그래핀 옥사이드(graphene oxide, GO)를 제조하였고 그래핀 옥사이드(GO) 를 환원시켜 reduced graphene oxide(R-GO)를 형성하였다. 각기 제조된 GO와 R-GO의 물성치를 분석하였고 이를 GNP 분석결과와 비교하여 제조된 방법의 신뢰성을 검토하였다. Raman 분광법에 의한 분석 결과 R-GO의 경우 GO에 비해 D-peak와 G-peak의 강도의 감소를 확인할 수 있었고 ID/IG의 비를 통해 0.08의 증가 값을 볼 수 있었다. FTIR을 이용한 GNP, GO 및 R-GO의 작용기 분석 결과 C-C, C=C의 반복되는 연결 구조를 가진 GNP와는 다르게 GO 및 R-GO의 경우 명확한 peak를 통해 C-O 결합, C=C 결합, C=O 결합 및 O-H 결합을 확인할 수 있었다. X-ray 회절 분석 결과 GNP는 (002) 평면 특성의 25.86°에서 넓은 회절의 peak를 보인 반면 GO와 R-GO는 (001), (100) 평면에 해당하는 peak를 볼 수 있었고 GO의 층간거리는 GNP에 비해 약 2.6배 증가한 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

We studied the basic properties and fabrication of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) prepared using eco-friendly reduction agents in the graphene solution process. Hydrazine is generally used to reduce graphene oxide (GO), which results in polluting emissions as well as fixed nitrogen functional groups on different defects in the graphene sheets. To replace hydrazine, we developed eco-friendly reduction agents with similar or better reducing properties, and selected of them for further analysis. In this study, GO layers were produced from graphite flakes using a modified Hummer's method, and rGO layers were reduced using hydrazine hydrate, L-ascorbic acid, and gluconic acid. We measured the particle sizes and the dispersion stabilities in the rGO dispersed solvents for the three agents and analyzed the structural, electrical, and optical properties of the rGO films. The results showed that the degree of reduction was in the order L-ascorbic acid ${\geq}$ hydrazine > glucose. GO reduced using L-ascorbic acid had a sheet resistance of $121k{\Omega}/sq$, while that reduced using gluconic acid showed worse electrical properties than the other two reduction agents. Therefore, L-ascorbic acid is the most suitable eco-friendly reduction agent that can be substituted for hydrazine.

Recently, graphene and graphene-based materials such as graphene oxide (GO) or reduced graphene oxide (R-GO) draws a great attention for electronic devices due to their structures of one atomic layer of carbon hexagon that have excellent mechanical, electrical, thermal, optical properties and very high specific surface area that can be high potential for chemical functionalization. R-GO is a promising candidate because it can be prepared with low-cost from solution process by chemical oxidation and exfoliation using strong acids and oxidants to produce graphene oxide (GO) and its subsequent reduction. R-GO has been used as semiconductor or conductor materials as well as sensing layer for bio-molecules or ions. In this work, reduced graphene oxide field-effect transistor (R-GO FET) has been fabricated with ITO extended gate structure that has sensing area on ITO extended gate part. R-GO FET device was encapsulated by tetratetracontane (TTC) layer using thermal evaporation. A thermal annealing process was carried out at $140^{\circ}C$ for 4 hours in the same thermal vacuum chamber to remove defects in R-GO film before deposition of TTC at $50^{\circ}C$ with thickness of 200 nm. As a result of this process, R-GO FET device has a very high stability and durability for months to serve as a transducer for sensing applications.

Reduced graphene oxide (rGO) is one of the derivatives of graphene, which has drawn some experimental research interests in recent years however, numerical research studying the mechanical behaviors of composites made of rGO has not been taken into consideration yet. The objective of this research is to investigate the buckling, and free vibration of functionally graded reduced graphene oxide reinforced nanocomposite (FG rGORC) plates employing isogeometric analysis (IGA). The effective Young's modulus of rGORC is determined based onthe Halpin-Tsai model. Four different FG distribution types of rGO are considered varying across plate thickness. Besides, the refined plate theory is used based on Reddy's third-order function. To capture the size effect, modified couple stress theory (MCST) is employed. A comprehensive study is provided examining the effect of various parameters including rGO weight fraction, FG distribution types, boundary conditions, material length scale parameter, etc. Our obtained results show that the addition of only 1% of uniformly distributed rGO into epoxy plates leads to the fundamental frequency and critical buckling load 18% and 39% higher than those of pure epoxy plates, respectively.

In this study, we report the one-pot synthesis of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) containing platinum nanoparticles with catalytic activity to break down hydrogen peroxide as a peroxidase-mimicking catalyst. A single reducing agent was used to reduce graphene oxide and a platinum precursor at a moderately low temperature of 70℃. The rGO was homogeneously decorated with platinum nanoparticles. The catalytic activity of Pt-rGO was investigated for the oxidation of 3,3',5,5'- tetramethylbenzidine (TMB), a peroxidase substrate, in the presence of hydrogen peroxide. The Pt-rGO coupled with glucose oxidase was also able to detect glucose at millimolar concentrations (up to 1 mM). Our results show that the Pt-rGO composite is a promising catalyst for the detection of hydrogen peroxide. This method was also applied for the detection of glucose.

In this paper, nitrogen-doped reduced graphene oxide(rGO) is obtained by thermal annealing of nitrogen-containing compounds and graphene oxide (GO) manufactured by modified Hummers' method. We use melamine as a nitrogen-containing compound and treat GO thermally with melamine at over $800{\sim}1,000^{\circ}C$ and 1 ~ 3 hr under Ar atmosphere. The electrical conductivity of doped rGO is measured by 4-point probe method. As a result, nitrogen contents on rGO are found to be in the range of 2.5 to 12.5 at% depending on the doping conditions after thermal annealing. The main doping site on graphene oxide is changed from pyridinic-N and pyrrolinic N to the graphitic site as the heat treatment temperature increases. The electrical conductivity of doped rGO increases as the N doping content increases. As the thermal treatment time increases, the change of both total doping contents and doping sites is slight and the surface resistance is remarkably reduced, which is caused by healing effects of doped graphene oxide at high temperature.

In this study, we present a facile method of fabricating graphene oxide (GO) films on the surface of polyimide (PI) via layer-by-layer (LBL) assembly of charged GO. The positively charged amino-phenyl functionalized GO (APGO) is alternatively complexed with the negatively charged GO through an electrostatic LBL assembly process. Furthermore, we investigated the water vapor transmission rate and oxygen transmission rate of the prepared (reduced GO $[rGO]/rAPGO)_{10}$ deposited PI film (rGO/rAPGO/PI) and pure PI film. The water vapor transmission rate of the GO and APGO-coated PI composite film was increased due to the intrinsically hydrophilic property of the charged composite films. However, the oxygen transmission rate was decreased from 220 to 78 $cm^3/m^2{\cdot}day{\cdot}atm$, due to the barrier effect of the graphene films on the PI surface. Since the proposed method allows for large-scale production of graphene films, it is considered to have potential for utilization in various applications.

V₂O₅-WO₃-TiO₂ 촉매를 담지하여 그래핀(graphene) 기반 세라믹필터를 제조하였으며, 이를 활용하여 질소산화물(NO_x)의 제거실험을 수행하였다. 산화그래핀(graphene oxide, GO)은 흑연(graphite)을 이용하여 Hummer's method에 의해 제조하였고 환원제로 히드라진(N2H4)을 통해 환원 산화그래핀(reduced graphene oxide, rGO)을 제조하였다. 제조된 그래핀을 세라믹필터 표면에 유-무기 하이브리드 원리를 이용하여 코팅하였으며, 여기에 광촉매물질을 담지하였다. 광촉매물질은 바나듐(V), 텅스텐(W), 티타늄(Ti)를 사용하여 sol-gel법에 의해 코팅 후 350 ℃ 소성 공정을 통하여 광촉매담지 세라믹필터를 제조하였다. UV광을 제조된 필터에 조사하여 NO_x의 제거 실험을 수행하였으며, NO_x의 제거 효율은 기존의 세라믹필터보다 GO 및 rGO가 코팅된 경우가 우수하였다. 이는 코팅된 그래핀에 의한 흡착성의 향상 때문으로 판단되며, 그래핀의 농도가 증가함에 따라 보다 높은 NO_x의 제거효율을 확인하였다.

Graphene was coated on austenitic and martensitic stainless steels to simulate the metallic bipolar plate of proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC). Graphene oxide (GO) was synthesized and was reduced to reduced graphene oxide (rGO) via a hydrazine process. rGO was confirmed by FE-SEM, Raman spectroscopy and XPS. Interfacial contact resistance (ICR) between the bipolar plate and the gas diffusion layer (GDL) was measured to confirm the electrical conductivity. Both ICR and corrosion current density decreased on graphene coated stainless steels. Corrosion resistance was also improved with immersion time in cathodic environments and satisfied the criteria of the Department of Energy (DOE), USA. The total concentrations of metal ions dissolved from graphene coated stainless steels were reduced. Furthermore hydrophobicity was improved by increasing the contact angle.
