▎ 摘  要

Recently, sophisticated technologies are applied to design a certain surface nature that can have superhydrophobic properties. Thus, a simple spray technique was introduced to prepare a superhydrophobic surface using rGO with Ni-S system (rGO-Ni) by using NiSO4 catalyst under microwave irradiation at various reaction times of 5, 10, 20, and 30 min. The GO reduction was conducted at a fixed Ar/H-2 ratio, a flow rate of 0.4 L/min, microwave power of 720 W, and a mass of 0.5 g. GO powder with nickel sulfate catalyst was treated under Ar/H-2 (4:1) mixture for GO reduction, where Ar and H-2 were expected to prevent the rebinding of oxygen released from GO. The result of XRD and Raman measurement confirms that rGO-Ni prepared at reaction time 20 min exhibit the highest reduction of GO and the presence of various Ni-S crystal structures such as NiS, NiS2, Ni3S2, and Ni3S4 due to decomposition of NiSO4. The rGO-Ni coating performance shows superhydrophobic nature with a contact angle of 150.1 degrees. The AFM images show that the addition of nickel to rGO produces a quasi-periodic spike structure, which increases the superhydrophobicity of the r-GO-Ni coated glass with a contact angle of 152.6 degrees. It is emphasized that the proposed simple spray coating using rGO-Ni provides a more favorable option for industry application in obtaining superhydrophobic surfaces.
