Synthesis of Graphene Load Nickel Nanoparticles Composites with Hydrothermal Process

Abstract

This paper presents a synthetic method of graphene load nickel nanoparticles composites. Hydrothermal process is simple and convenient way, neither surfactant is needed nor by products will exist serve hydrazine hydrate as reductant. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analyses were used to characterization the morphology of the graphene load nickel nanoparticles composites, and cyclic voltammetry (CV) was used to characterization the electrical properties of the composites. The results of XRD and FTIR show that the complexes were successfully synthesized by this method. Moreover, the good dispersibility and relatively uniform particle size of the complexes can be obviously observed from the SEM image. And the cyclic voltammetry curves exhibit good electrical properties of graphene load nickel nanoparticles composites. All the conclusions are based on the experimental results.
