Abstract
MgO-reduced graphene oxide nanocomposites (NCs) were synthesized by a simple two-step chemical method. The microstructure, surface morphology, and composition of the prepared samples have been studied. X-ray diffractometer (XRD) analysis confirmed the crystalline cubic MgO nanoparticle and rGO sheets. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) showed the spherical MgO nanoparticles well dispersed over the graphene sheets. UV–visible spectroscopy analysis demonstrated that a red shift in the wavelength dependent absorbance curve. The band gap of the samples was found to be decreased with the increase of rGO content. The dielectric studies have been examined in the frequency range 500 Hz−5 MHz and found significant improvement in the dielectric constant, dielectric loss, and electric properties due to rGO addition.This is mainly attributed to the strong interfacial polarization (Maxwell–Wagner polarization) between MgO and rGO sheets. Further, the modulation of charge carrier density with rGO additions help to enhance the electrical conductivity of NCs and thus, encouraging to have wider application in electronic and energy technologies.
