Abstract

In this present work, graphene supported ruthenium oxide (rGO/RuO2) was synthesized by reflux method. Spectroscopic techniques were used to characterize the synthesized rGO/RuO2 NPs, including Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), and Energy-Dispersive X-ray (EDAX). Synthesized rGO/RuO2 NPs that were prepared via reflux method at 150 °C for 3 hours showed a paper like structure with an average crystalline sizes of reduced graphene and rGO/RuO2 was found to be 14 and 10.3 nm. Therefore, the reflux synthesis method, as compared to more complex and time-consuming synthesis methods, can be used to easily and quickly produce high-quality, uniform-sized rGO/RuO2 NPs. The synthesized material has a successful application in electrochemical sensors, photocatalyst, antioxidant, hydrogen generation, used as catalyst in mines, minerals and fuels.
