Graphene derivative
nanomaterials with superior physicochemical properties have been used in
different research areas in recent years. In this work, graphene-based reduced
graphene oxide (rGO) is modified to the transparent conductive glass surface.
On this quality modified electrode, the nanocomposite electrode is synthesized
by polymerizing (using cycling voltammetry) the thienyl pyrrole derivate
electroactive monomer which has been successfully synthesized and characterized
(called by PSN/rGO-ITO ). Here, the graphene based nanomaterial has excellent
interaction with the polymer structure and has improved electrochemical and
optical properties of composite film by facilitating electron transfer. For
example, the PSN/rGO-ITO composite film has increased the electrochemical
stability by 5 times in terms of the number of cycles when compared to bare PSN
surface. Besides, reducing the band gap energy (E_g) value from 2.01
eV to 1.91 eV increased the conductivity. This composite film forms an
alternative product that can be used as a material for improving properties in
all areas where conductive polymers can be used.

Üstün fizikokimyasal
özelliklere sahip grafen türevi nanomateryaller son yıllarda farklı araştırma
alanlarında kullanılmaktadır. Bu çalışmada grafen temelli nanomateryal olan
indirgenmiş grafen oksit (rGO) şeffaf iletken cam yüzeyine modifiye edilmiştir.
Bu kaliteli, modifiye elektrot üzerinde sentezi başarıyla tamamlanmış ve
karakterize edilmiş olan tiyenil pirol türevi elektroaktif monomer dönüşümlü
voltametri yardımıyla polimerleştirilerek PSN/rGO-ITO adı verilen nanokompozit
elektrot sentezlenmiştir. Burada rGO, PSN polimer yapısıyla mükemmel etkileşim
gösterip, elektron transferini kolaylaştırarak kompozit filmin elektrokimyasal
ve optik özelliklerini geliştirmiştir. Örneğin, PSN/rGO-ITO kompoziti yalnızca
PSN polimerinin kullanıldığı yüzeye göre elektrokimyasal kararlılığı döngü
sayısı bakımından 5 kat artırmıştır. Yine band boşluğu enerjisi (E_g)
değerini 2.01 eV’dan 1.91eV' a düşürerek iletkenliği artırmıştır. Bu kompozit
film, iletken polimerlerin kullanılabileceği tüm alanlarda özellik geliştiren
materyal olarak kullanılabilecek alternatif bir ürünü oluşturmaktadır.
