▎ 摘 要
A simple and effective method has been developed to assemble the beta-Co(OH)(2) nanoparticles coordinated to the surface of the reduced graphene oxide sheets. The reduced graphene oxide-Co(OH)(2) hybrid is characterized by transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy techniques, respectively. These morphological and structural analysis results demonstrate the successful attachment of hexagonal beta-Co(OH)(2) nanoparticles to the reduced graphene oxide sheets through the oxygen-containing functional groups. Compared to the paramagnetic property of hexagonal beta-Co(OH)(2) nanoparticles, a s-like superparamagnetic behavior can be observed at room temperature for the reduced graphene oxide-Co(OH)(2) hybrid by the magnetometer PPMS-9T magnetic measurement, indicative of superparamagnetism. The interplay between the localized magnetic moment of the Co2+ ions in the hexagonal beta-Co(OH)(2) nanoparticles and the itinerant pi carriers in reduced graphene oxide is suggested to be responsible for this superparamagnetic behavior. This enhanced magnetism indicates that the reduced graphene oxide-Co(OH)(2) hybrid has a promising potential for spintronic device applications.
