In-situ nanocomposites of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and niken oxide (NiO) nanowire were prepared by direct introducing homemade graphene oxide (GO) into precursor solution of NiO with different weight contents of GO (0.0, 0.5, and 1.0 wt.%) before carrying out the one-step hydrothermal process. Homemade GO was synthesized from graphene nanoflakes via Hummer method. Crystal structure and crystallinity of nanocomposites were analyzed using X-ray diffraction method. Scanning electron microscopy was used to study the morphology of nanocomposites. The absorbability of nanocomposites was evaluated through the absorption experiment with two organic dyes: methyl orange and congo red. The results show that compositing with GO does not affect the crystal structure of NiO but it causes the break of NiO nanorod into shorter nanorods, the increase of microstrain in NiO nanorods, and the increase of the absorption efficiency of nanocomposite with both methyl orange and congo red. The results are contribution to the study on hybrid/nanocomposite materials of carbon-based materials and metal oxide semiconductor nanostructures.

The present investigation highlights the synthesis of polyaniline (PANI) coated graphene oxide doped with SrTiO3 nanocube nanocomposites through facile in-situ oxidative polymerization method for the efficient removal of carcinogenic dyes, namely, the cationic dye methylene blue (MB) and the anionic dye methyl orange (MO). The synthesised nanocomposites were characterised by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The adsorption efficiencies of graphene oxide (GO), PANI homopolymer and SrTiO3 nanocubes-doped nanocomposites were assessed by monitoring the adsorption of methylene blue and methyl orange dyes from aqueous solution. The adsorption efficiency of nanocomposites doped with SrTiO3 nanocubes were found to be of higher magnitude as compared with undoped nanocomposite. Moreover, the nanocomposite with 2 wt% SrTiO3 with respect to graphene oxide demonstrated excellent adsorption behaviour with 99% and 91% removal of MB and MO respectively, in a very short duration of time.

In order to improve the interfacial bonding between graphene and copper and improve the dispersibility of graphene in the copper matrix, a novel method was used to prepare graphene. Firstly, graphene oxide (GO) was prepared by the modified Hummer's method, and then the reduced graphene oxide-supported cobalt nanoparticle composite powder (Co@RGO) was prepared by one-step in-situ reduction method. The fabricated materials were mixed with copper powder to obtain various volume fractions. The powder mixture was subjected to compression and discharge plasma sintering (SPS) to prepare a bulk copper-based composite material. The microstructure and its comprehensive properties were studied by SEM, TEM, XRD, FTIR and Raman. The results show that the agglomeration of graphene can be effectively inhibited after the cobalt nanoparticles supported on the graphene surface. The proper amount of Co@RGO could be uniformly dispersed in the copper matrix. The composite material showed a high electrical conductivity (>86% IACS), and the Vickers hardness also increased by about 30% compared with pure copper.

An aqueous electrochromic composite poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfonate)/graphene oxide was prepared in this study by a simple one-step in-situ polymerization. This simple one-step preparation method allowed the composite to achieve good performance without post-treatment. When the composite was coated on the indium tin oxide using as electrochromic film, it exhibited a noticeable electrochromism with reversible color changes from light blue to dark blue, and showed a wider range of discoloration (33%). The composite owns a larger diffusion coefficient of lithium ions (2.95 × 10–15 cm2 s–1) and better cycling performance compared with poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfonate) film.

MgAl-CO32−-LDH was directly grown on the inner surfaces of wood vessels via a one-step hydrothermal process, which greatly enhanced the flame retardant and smoke suppression properties of the wood.
