XRD studies on reduced Graphene Oxide-Aurum Nanocomposite

The utilization of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) as the foundational material in order to stabilize gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) is presented as a novel approach to the production of hybrid nanocomposites. It is the primary purpose to incorporate low-energy gold (Au) ions, which will result in the creation of reactive sites on rGO. This will, in turn, make it easier for AuNPs to nucleate and intercalate within a few layers of rGO. An unique characterization of these nanocomposites is accomplished by the utilization of X-ray diffraction (XRD), optical microscopy (OM), ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) in the process. Crystallographic changes may be visualized using OM, morphological changes can be visualized using XRD, optical characteristics can be determined using UV-Vis spectroscopy, and chemical modifications can be discovered using FTIR. Significantly, the findings provide evidence that the implantation of Au ions was carried out successfully, hence shedding light on surface roughening and altered chemical states in the rGO nanostructure. The significance of our method in achieving targeted alterations within the nanocomposite structure is highlighted by this discovery, which demonstrates the potential of our technique for the development of revolutionary material strategies. We have a better grasp of the one-of-a-kind characteristics of rGO-AuNP nanocomposites as a result of the complete characterization, which used techniques such as XRD, OM, UV-Vis, and FTIR. The contributions made by this author provide useful insights that could be used to a wide variety of study and technology fields.
