Fast and Simple Fabrication of RGO/Ag Nanocomposite with Homogenous Dispersion

Abstract:

The RGO/Ag nanocomposite with a homogeneous dispersion of Ag on the surface of RGO has been successfully prepared via situ chemical reduction method using DMF (dimethylformamide) as solvent and reducing agent. The RGO/Ag nanocomposite was characterized by X-ray diffractometer (XRD), Fourier transform-infrared (FTIR) spectra, Fieldemission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). It is suggested that in the presence of the PVP (polyvinylpyrrolidone), the electrostatic attraction of Ag⁺ ions with negative GO sheets lead to the decoration of Ag nanoparticles on the surface of RGO sheets in RGO/Ag nanocomposite.
