Immobilization of Metal and Metal Oxide Nanoparticles on Graphene Chapter uri icon

abstract

  • Graphene-metal nanoparticle composites have found several applications in catalysis, electronics, optics, biotechnology, energy, medicine, and so on. Several strategies have been described in the literature to immobilize nanoparticles (NPs) on graphene. They can be divided into two main pathways: (i) the direct growth of metal and metal oxide NPs on graphene oxide (GO) and (ii) the chemical recognition of modified NPs by functionalized graphene (f-G). In the present chapter, a selection of representative examples of the synthesis and applications of graphene-metal nanohybrids are presented and discussed. © 2014 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH %26 Co. KGaA.
