The galvanostatic co-deposition of 3D-grown Ni-rGO nanocomposite | Navid Alinejadian
Summary :
Nowadays, graphene and graphene-based nanocomposites play a vast and vital role in the enhancement of cutting-edge fields of science and technology. The electrochemical codeposition approach has been known as a very applicable, high-yield, and cost-effective method instigating us to carry it out to create 3D morphology for Ni/rGO nanocomposite. The specific influences of co-electrodeposition parameters have been investigated on forming the 3D morphology, changing the crystallographic texture, and improvement of electroactivity based on the control of the reduction during the process. This process led to the increase of the electroactive specific surface via the increment of the geometric surface area. The 3D-grown Ni-rGO electrode with good electroactive performance can be used as energy conversion electrodes, detection sensors, and fuel cell electrodes.
