▎ 摘  要

The understanding of non-covalent binding interactions of graphene oxide toward transition metal surfaces (Fe, Co, Ni, and Cu) was observed by ultraviolet-visible absorption spectroscopy, fluorescence emission spectroscopy, hydrodynamic size, and zeta potential studies through titration experiments. These interactions mainly occur through C = C double bonds of graphene oxide. Iron and cobalt nanoparticles interact strongly as compared to nickel and copper nanoparticles. The obtained Stern-Volmer plots are curved indicating that static and dynamic quenching occur simultaneously in these systems. The curves obtained for size titration graphs indicated the saturation end point for these titrations, which were then compared with binding constants obtained from linear Stern-Volmer plots. Interestingly, with lower binding constants, a higher concentration of nanoparticles was required for titration end points. These two complimentary techniques stood well quantitatively toward each other. Upon titrating the nanoparticles with graphene oxide, the zeta potential always lowered close to the value of graphene oxide, indicating that hybrids are more stable than the nanoparticles.
