Evaluation of binding compatibility among transition metal nanoparticles towards graphene quantum dots and their magnetic properties
Source abstract
Abstract
The binding affinity of transition metal nanoparticles (iron, cobalt, nickel, and copper) and graphene quantum dots is observed by fluorescence emission spectroscopy along with their corresponding Stern–Volmer plots, UV–Vis absorption spectroscopy, hydrodynamic size, zeta potential, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The fluorescence intensity and absorbance intensity were both enhanced in all cases, representing interfacial interactions of graphene quantum dots and nanoparticles. The corresponding Stern–Volmer plots were non-linear, indicating that static and dynamic modes of binding occur simultaneously. Copper nanoparticles exhibited the strongest binding with graphene quantum dots followed by nickel and iron nanoparticles, whereas cobalt nanoparticles exhibited the weakest binding among all. The composites also show the metal–oxygen bond via FTIR, which shows strong binding of graphene quantum dots towards metal nanoparticles. Iron and cobalt nanoparticles along with their composites were also studied for their magnetic properties through a vibrating sample magnetometer, such as magnetization (Ms), remanent magnetization (Mr), and coercivity (Hc). All these values were decreased for composites except coercivity for cobalt composites, which was increased. Graphical Abstract
