“…48,49 The second weight loss, which is about 18%, is observed between 100 and 250 C, which is attributed to the decomposition of thermally less stable and labile oxygencontaining functional groups (hydroxyl, epoxy, and carboxylic acid). 21,50 The third weight loss at about 300 C corresponds to the more stable oxygen-containing functionalities and the bulk pyrolysis of the carbon skeleton. 51,52 The fourth weight loss, which shows a major decrease in the mass of about 31% in the temperature range of 250-450 C, is attributed to the decomposition of supported organic moieties and the copper complex on the surface if GO-Ni MNPs, 21,31 which can be possibly related to the strong chemical interaction between GO-Ni MNPs and the organic groups.…”
