PREPARATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF NITROGEN DOPED GRAPHENE OXIDE / NICKEL OXIDE HYBRIDS

Abstract

Graphene oxide is one of the most promising material for implementation in the next generation electronic devices because of its unique properties.A new series of Nitrogen doped graphene oxide /Nickel oxide nanocomposites are prepared. Graphene oxide is prepared from natural graphite flakes by modified hummersmethod.Nitrogen doped graphene oxide are synthesised by one step hydrothermal process.Nitrogen doped graphene oxide /Nickel oxidenano composites are prepared by chemical precipitation method.The structure of the prepared nanocomposites are investigated by X-Ray diffraction analysis and morphological properties of the prepared nanocomposites are investigated by Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). The presence of functional groups in the synthesized nanocomposites are studied by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FT-IR).The electrochemical activity of the prepared nanocomposites is investigated by cyclic voltammetry(CV). The prepared nanocomposites may be applied forsensing,dye sensitized solar cell and supercapacitor applications.
