In this work, the reduced graphene nanosheets were synthesized from pre-exfoliated graphite flakes. The pristine graphite flakes were firstly pre-exfoliated to graphite nanoplatelets in the presence of acetic acid. The obtained graphite nanoplatelets were treated by Hummer's method to produce graphite oxide sheets and were finally exfoliated to graphene nanosheets by ultrasonication and reduction processes. The prepared graphene nanosheets were studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). From the results, it was found that the preexfoliation process showed significant influence on preparation of graphite oxide sheets and graphene nanosheets. The prepared graphene nanosheets were applied to the preparation of conductive materials, which yielded a greatly improved electrical resistance of $200{\Omega}/sq$.

유연 열전소자를 제조하기 위한 열전재료로서, graphite nanosheet(GNS)와 poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF)를 복합화하여 GNS/PVDF 복합체를 제조하였다. GNS의 함량에 따른 전기전도도, 열전도도, 지벡상수를 측정하여 열전성능을 확인하였다. GNS의 함량이 10에서 70 wt%로 증가하면서 전기전도도는 389에서 1512 S/m로 향상되는 결과를 보였다. 복합체의 전기전도도가 크게 증가하는 반면에 지벡 상수는 26.7에서 31.2 ${\mu}V/K$로 큰 변화를 보이지 않았으며, 열전도도 역시 0.24 W/m K를 유지하면서 변화를 보이지 않았다. 고분자와의 복합화를 통하여 GNS 자체의 높은 열전도도를 낮춤으로써 향상된 열전성능을 갖는 열전재료를 제조할 수 있었다.

Silicon (Si) is recognized as a promising anode material for high-energy-density lithium-ion batteries. However, under a condition of electrode comparable to commercial graphite anodes with low binder content and a high electrode density, the practical use of Si is limited due to the huge volume change associated with Si-Li alloying/de-alloying. Here, we report a novel core-shell composite, having a reversible capacity of ~ 500 mAh g-1, by forming a shell composed of a mixture of nano-Si, graphite nanosheets and a pitch carbon on a spherical natural graphite particle. The electrochemical measurements are performed using electrodes with 2 wt % styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) and 2 wt.% carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) binder in an electrode density of ~ 1.6 g cm-3. The core-shell composites having the reversible capacity of 478 mAh g-1 shows the outstanding capacity retention of 99% after 100 cycles with the initial coulombic efficiency of 90%. The heterostructure of core-shell composites appears to be very effective in buffering the volume change of Si during cycling.

In this work, the effect of co-carbon fillers on the electrical and mechanical properties of epoxy nanocomposites was investigated. The graphite nanosheets (GNs) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) were used as co-carbon fillers. The results showed that the electrical conductivity of the epoxy nanocomposites showed a considerable increase upon an addition of MWNTs when GNs were fixed at 2 wt.%. This indicated that low content GNs formed the bulk conductive network and then MWNTs added were intercalated between the GN layers, resulted in the formation of additional conductive pathway. Furthermore, the flexural strength of the epoxy nanocomposites was enhanced with increasing the MWNT content. It was probably attributed to the flexible MWNTs compared with rigid GNs, resulted in the enhancement of the mechanical properties.

In this work, the electrical explosion of wire in liquid and subsequent spark plasma sintering (SPS) was introduced for the fabrication of Ni-graphite nanocomposites. The fabricated composite exhibited good enhancements in mechanical properties, such as yield strength and hardness, but reduced the ductility in comparison with that of nickel. The as-synthesized Ni-graphite (5 vol.% graphite) nanocomposite exhibited a compressive yield strength of 275 MPa (about 1.6 times of SPS-processed monolithic nickel ~170 MPa) and elongation to failure ~22%. The hardness of Ni-graphite composite had a value of 135.46 HV, which is about 1.3 times higher than that of pure SPS-processed Ni (105.675 HV). In terms of processing, this work demonstrated that this processing route is a novel, simple, and low-cost method for the synthesis of nickel-graphite composites.

In this work, poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) was grafted onto amine treated graphite nanosheets ($NH_2$-GNs) and the surface characteristics and physical properties of the $NH_2$-GNs-g-PMMA films were investigated. The graft reaction of $NH_2$-GNs and PMMA was confirmed from the shift of the $N_{1S}$ peak, including amine oxygen and amide oxygen, by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The surface characteristics of the $NH_2$-GNs-g-PMMA films were measured as a function of the $NH_2$-GN content using the contact angle method. It was revealed that the specific component of the surface free energy (${\gamma}s$) of the films was slightly increased as the $NH_2$-GN content increased. Also, the thermal and mechanical properties of the $NH_2$-GNs-g-PMMA films were enhanced with the addition of $NH_2$-GNs. This can be attributed to the chemical bonding caused by the graft reaction between the $NH_2$-GNs and the PMMA matrix.

본 연구에서는 그래파이트로부터 직접적으로 그래핀 복합체를 합성하는 방법을 이용하여 Au/TiO2/그래핀 복합체를 합성하였다. 계면활성제를 이용하여 박리된 그래파이트로부터 합성된 그래핀 복합체에서 TiO2는 아주 얇은 시트 형태로 그래핀 표면에 분포되어있고 10 nm 미만의 Au 나노입자들이 TiO2 시트 표면 위에 골고루 분포되어 있다. 이렇게 만들어진 그래핀 복합체를 이용하여 다양한 염료의 광분해 반응에 적용하였다. 이들 중 가장 광분해 활성에 뛰어난 것으로 나타난 염료는 메틸렌블루(91.6%)였으며 로다민 B(31.0%)에서는 광분해 특성이 뛰어나지 않는 것으로 나타났다.

In this paper we report an electrochemical sensor based on ZnO-functionalized graphene oxide nanocomposite (ZnO-GO) for the sensitive determination of the cabergoline. Cabergoline electrochemical behaviors were investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV), chronoamperometry (CHA) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). The modified electrode shows electrocatalytic activity toward cabergoline oxidation in phosphate buffer solution (PBS) (pH 7.0) with a reduction of the overpotential of about 180 mV and an increase in peak current. The DPV data showed that the obtained anodic peak currents were linearly dependent on the cabergoline concentrations in the range of $1.0-200.0{\mu}M$, with the detection limit of $0.45{\mu}M$. The prepared electrode was successfully applied for the determination of cabergoline in real samples.
