Abstract

Recently,
three-dimensional graphene foams produced by CVD method have drawn significant
attention due to their unique properties in many applications. In particular, their
regularly interconnected structures provide a suitable platform for
accommodating metal oxides, polymers etc. Therefore, these materials emerge as
promising candidates for electrochemical applications. In this study,
hydrothermal method of doping iron oxide nanoparticles on three-dimensional
graphene foam was demonstrated for the first time. After doping the saturation
magnetization value (Ms) of graphene foam was measured as 49,8 emu/g while the
interconnected network structure of graphene foam was preserved. These results
show that it is possible to use these materials for electrochemical
applications.

γ-Fe2O3 Nanoparçacık Katkılı Üç Boyutlu Grafen Köpüklerin Üretimi ve Karakterizasyonu

Abstract

Kimyasal
buhar biriktirme yöntemi ile üretilen üç boyutlu grafen köpükler, eşsiz
özelliklerinden dolayı, son yıllarda pek çok alanda giderek dikkat çekmeye
başlamışlardır. Özellikle; metal oksit, polimer gibi malzemelerle kaplanmaya
uygun olan düzenli ağ yapılarıyla elektrokimyasal uygulamalar için de aday
malzemeler haline gelmişlerdir.  Bu
çalışmada, kimyasal buhar biriktirme yöntemi ile üretilen üç boyutlu grafen
köpüklere ilk kez hidrotermal yöntem kullanılarak γ-Fe₂O₃
nanoparçacıkları katkılanmıştır. Katkılama işlemi sonucunda köpüklere ait doyum
manyetizasyon değeri (Ms) 49,8 emu/g olarak ölçülmüş, grafen köpüğün ağ
yapısının katkılama işlemi sonucunda da korunduğu görülmüştür. Elde edilen bu
sonuçlar γ-Fe₂O₃ katkılı grafen köpüklerin
elektrokimyasal uygulamalar için kullanılabileceği sonucunu ortaya çıkarmıştır.
