Scalable and rapid Far Infrared reduction of graphene oxide for high performance lithium ion batteries

Self-propagating solar light reduction of graphite oxide in water

“…[34]. Also, rGO have been obtained employing various types of irradiation such as microwave [35,36], far infrared [37], pulsed laser [38,39] irradiation, UV [40,41] and visible [42] light. Besides the green environmental approach, these techniques have the advantage of gradual, controllable reduction of graphene oxide films and suspensions to a desired level and, in case of light assisted reduction, masking/treating of selected areas for manufacture of flexible electronic devices.…”

Carbon-based two-dimensional layered materials for photocatalytic CO 2 reduction to solar fuels

“…Carbon-based materials have been widely used in the various applications such as batteries [12,13], supercapacitors [14][15][16], fuel cells [17,18] and photocatalysts [11,12] due to their low cost and eco-friendliness. Since the successful isolation of 2D single layer of carbon atoms (viz.…”

A corn-inspired structure design for an iron oxide fiber/reduced graphene oxide composite as a high-performance anode material for Li-ion batteries

“…Graphene oxide was synthesized from natural graphite by a modied Hummers method described in detail previously. 34 To prepare Fe 2 O 3 /rGO composites, a homogeneous suspension of graphene oxide (GO) and Fe 2 O 3 bers was carefully prepared. A total of 20 ml of alcoholic GO (1 mg ml À1 ) was sonicated for 30 min to form a stable solution.…”
