摘要

Background: Reduced graphene oxide (rGO) is often prepared from graphene oxide (GO) byusing various reducing agents like hydrazine hydrate, dimethylhydrazine, sodium borohydride, hydroquinoneetc. In view of the toxicity of chemical reagents, recent trends are directed towards the use of naturederivedbiomolecules as the reducing source. The present study describes a comparative evaluation ofdifferent properties of reduced graphene oxides (rGOs), prepared by using chemical and biological reducingsources, and investigated their catalytic functions in the reduction of nitrobenzene to aniline.Methods: GO is prepared from graphite powder following modified Hummers oxidation and subsequentexfoliation by sonication. In order to obtain rGO, four different plants leaf extracts viz. AdathodaVasika (Malabar nut), Azadirachta Indica (Neem), Camellia Sinensis (Tea), Moringa Oleifera (Drumstick),and a fungi extract of Volvereilla Volvacea (Mushroom) are chosen primarily from the local sub-Himalayan region, all are edible to human beings as well as have long been used as traditional medicinesto combat with various diseases. The plant leaves are washed carefully with distilled water, keptin air oven at 80 oC for two days, and then the dry leaves are crushed to fine powder. The plant leafextractsare obtained by stirring a suspension of each type of finely grinded leaf powder (500 mg in 80mL of DI water) overnight at room temperature and filtering the extract to remove any dust plantleaves. Each rGO is denoted as rGO-AV, rGO-AI, rGO-CS, rGO-MO and rGO-VV, based on theabbreviation of sources. The rGO-HH stands for rGO obtained by using hydrazine hydrate.Results: Each rGO was characterized by UV-Vis, FT-IR, Raman spectroscopic techniques, and surfacemorphological aspects were studied by powder XRD, Scanning and Transmission electron microscopicimages (SEM and TEM). The acidic nature (pH) of each rGO in aqueous suspension as well as cationexchangecapacity was measured by potentiometric titration in the absence and presence of an electrolyterespectively. Finally, the catalytic ability was evaluated in the reduction of nitrobenzene to anilineat room temperature monitored by UV-Vis spectrophotometer. While textural aspects of various rGOsare fairly similar, various physicochemical properties like pH, cation-exchange ability etc are found tobe different for rGOs obtained by using different phyto-extracts. Moreover, there is significant variationobserved in their catalytic activity in the reduction of nitrobenzene.Conclusion: Present studies establish that the rGO can be efficiently prepared by various naturederivedaqueous extracts. Although the textural aspects of rGOs display marginal changes, their catalyticactivity in the reduction of nitrobenzene to aniline greatly differs, as studied by UV-Vis spectrophotometrickinetic measurements. By comparison, it is found that rGOs obtained by using plant leafextract of Adathoda Vasika, (rGO-AV) and an edible mushroom extract of Volvereilla Volvacea, (rGOVV)exhibit significantly better catalytic efficiency than others.
