✦ Synopsis

Graphene, which possesses unique nanostructure and excellent properties, is considered as a low cost alternative to carbon nanotubes in nanocomposites. In this study, we present a simple in situ approach for the deposition of cobalt (Co) nanoparticles onto surfaces of graphene sheets by hydrazine hydrate reduction. The as-synthesized composites were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and thermogravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry. It was shown that the as-formed Co nanoparticles were densely and homogeneously deposited on the surfaces of the graphene sheets and as a result, the restacking of the as-reduced graphene sheets was effectively inhibited. Magnetic studies reveal that the graphene/Co nanocomposite displays ferromagnetic behavior with saturation magnetizations of 53.4 emu g -1 , remanent magnetization of 6.0 emu g -1 and coercivity of 226 Oe at room temperature, which make it promising for practical applications in future nanotechnology.

Graphene oxide (GO) is reduced and functionalized with primary amine by a one-pot solvothermal process using ethylene glycol as solvent and ammonia water as nitrogen precursor at 180 Β°C for 10 h. The reaction is featured by nucleophilic substitution of -COOH and C-O-C groups by the ammonia radicals.
