Abstract
The method for producing noble metal nanocomposites involves reducing noble metal ions (Ag, Au and Pt) on graphene oxide (GO) or carbon nanotubes (CNT) by using Artocarpus integer leaves extract as a reducing agent. As synthesized MNPs/GO and MNPs/CNT composites have been characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscope (TEM) imaging, and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The TEM images of prepared materials showed that the nanocomposites were 1-30 nm in size with spherical nanoparticles embedded on the surface of GO and CNT. This synthetic route is easy and rapid for preparing a variety of nanocomposites. The method avoids use of toxic chemicals, and the prepared nanocomposites can be used for biosensor, fuel cell, and biomedical applications.

- The present invention relates to composites, and particularly to a method for producing noble metal nanocomposites that have noble metal nanoparticles (MNP) embedded in a carbon-based substrate of graphene oxide (GO) or carbon nanotubes (CNT).
- Noble metal nanoparticles have gained remarkable attention due to their excellent physical, chemical and biological properties. On the other hand, carbon-based nano-materials, including graphene oxide (GO) sheets and carbon nanotubes (CNT), are promising supporting materials for noble metal nanoparticles to produce new nanocomposites that can be used in a wide variety of applications because of their distinctive electronic, thermal, and mechanical properties. Currently, the search for synthetic routes for embedding metal nanoparticles on carbon-based materials is a rapidly growing research area in nanoscience and nanotechnology. So far, there have been a number of attempts to carry out a synthesis of noble metal nanoparticles embedded graphene oxide and carbon nanotubes, including chemical reduction, electrochemical, thermal decomposition, ultraviolet and microwave irradiation. However, these methods use hazardous chemicals, high pressure, energy, and temperatures that lead to environmental pollution. Green synthesis is a most promising method for metal nanoparticles (MNPs) synthesis that is considered cost effective, simple, rapid, and eco-friendly, since it does not require toxic chemicals. We have developed a new synthetic route for synthesis of MNPs on GO/CNT. These synthesized samples can be used for biosensors, fuel cells, and biomedical applications.
- Thus, a method for producing noble metal nanocomposites solving the aforementioned problems is desired.
- The method for producing noble metal nanocomposites involves reducing noble metal ions (Ag, Au and Pt) on graphene oxide (GO) or carbon nanotubes (CNT) by using Artocarpus integer (champedak) leaves extract as a reducing agent. As synthesized MNPs/GO and MNPs/CNT composites have been characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscope (TEM) imaging, and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The TEM images of prepared materials showed that the nanocomposites were 1-30 nm in size with spherical nanoparticles embedded on the surface of GO and CNT. This synthetic route is easy and rapid for preparing a variety of nanocomposites. The method avoids use of toxic chemicals, and the prepared nanocomposites can be used for biosensor, fuel cell, and biomedical applications.

- The method for producing noble metal nanocomposites involves reducing noble metal ions (Ag, Au and Pt) on graphene oxide (GO) or carbon nanotubes (CNT) by using Artocarpus integer (champedak) leaves extract as a reducing agent. As synthesized MNPs/GO and MNPs/CNT composites have been characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscope (TEM) imaging, and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The TEM images of prepared materials showed that the nanocomposites were 2-20 nm in size with spherical nanoparticles embedded on the surface of GO and CNT. This synthetic route is easy and rapid for preparing a variety of nanocomposites. The method avoids use of toxic chemicals, and the prepared nanocomposites can be used for biosensor, fuel cell, and biomedical applications.
- In the following examples, leaves of Artocarpus integer were collected from the Kanyakumari Dist., Tamil Nadu (India). Graphite and CNT were purchased from S.D.Fine, Inida and Sigma, USA respectively. Milli Q water was used throughout the experiments.
- Freshly harvested A. integer leaves were washed several times with deionized water. About 10 g of leaves were finely chopped and stirred in 200 ml of double-distilled water at 95° C. for 5 min and filtered using a Whatman #1 filter paper to obtain the leaf extract. The filtrate was used as the reducing agent.
- Graphene oxide was synthesized from graphite by modified Hummers method. Briefly, 1.0 g graphite powder was dispersed in 24 mL concentrated H2SO4 under stirring at 0° C. Subsequently, 3.0 g of KMnO4 was added gradually to the mixture and kept in an ice bath. The mixture was stirred for 30 min. The mixture was diluted gradually with 45 mL Milli-Q water. The mixture was re-diluted with 140 mL Milli-Q water and treated with drop-wise addition of 3% hydrogen peroxide. The color of the mixture changed to yellow-brown during the drop-wise addition of H2O2. The mixture was filtered and washed with HCl solution (5%) and then repeatedly washed with water. Finally, the dark brown graphene oxide (GO) powder was obtained through drying at 50° C. in a vacuum oven.
- Functionalized MWCNT (multi-wall carbon nanotubes) were prepared by brutal oxidation using an H2SO4—HNO3 mixture (3:1 v/v ratio). About 1 g of MWCNT was refluxed with 100 ml of the acid mixture at 120° C. for 6 h. After cooling, the reaction mixture was diluted with 500 ml of Milli-Q water and filtered through vacuum filtration. The obtained product was washed several times with Milli-Q water until the acid was removed. The functionalized MWCNT were used for further experiments.
- To obtain platinum nanocomposites, about 20 mg of either GO or the functionalized MWCNT was dispersed in 20 ml Milli-Q water under sonication for 30 minutes. About 5 ml of 1×10−2 M H2PtCl6 solution was added drop-wise in GO or the functionalized MWCNT separately under stirring. Following that, the mixture was kept at room temperature for aging and GO-Pt+ or MWCNT-Pt+ complex formation. Excess metal ions of GO-Pt+ or MWCNT-Pt+ mixture were removed by centrifugation. Then 5 ml of the leaves broth (extract) was added to the obtained GO-metal complex or MWCNT-metal complex and mixed well. After 15 minutes incubation, the samples were used for further physico-chemical characterization.
- To obtain gold nanocomposites, about 20 mg GO or the functionalized MWCNT was dispersed in 20 ml Milli-Q water under sonication for 30 minutes. About 5 ml of 1×10−2 M HAuCl4 solution was added drop-wise in GO or the functionalized MWCNT separately under stirring. Following that, the mixture was kept at room temperature for aging and GO-Au+ or MWCNT-Au+ complex formation. Excess metal ions of the GO-Au+ or the MWCNT-Au+ mixture was removed by centrifugation. Then, about 5 ml of the leaves broth (extract) was added to the obtained GO-metal complex or the MWCNT-metal complex and mixed well. After 15 minutes incubation, the samples were used for further physico-chemical characterization.
- To obtain silver nanocomposite, about 20 mg GO or the functionalized MWCNT was dispersed in 20 ml Milli-Q water under sonication for 30 minutes. About 5 ml of 1×10−2 M AgNO3 solution was added drop-wise in the GO or the functionalized MWCNT separately under stirring. Following that, the mixture was kept at room temperature for aging and GO-Ag+ or MWCNT-Ag+ complex formation. Excess metal ions of the GO-Ag+ or the MWCNT-Ag+ mixture were removed by centrifugation. Then, 5 ml of the leaves broth (extract) was added to the obtained GO-metal complex or the MWCNT-metal complex and mixed well. After 15 minutes incubation, the samples were used for further physico-chemical characterization.
- Chemical compositions of prepared noble metal nanocomposites were characterized by using Energy Dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX or EDX). See
FIGS. 2A, 2B, 4A, 4B, 6A and 6B . The crystalline nature of the prepared samples was analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD). The surface morphology, particle size and diameter of the prepared materials were characterized by using Transmission electron microscope (TEM) (JEOL, JEM2100, Japan). SeeFIGS. 1A, 1B, 1C, 1D, 3A, 3B, 3C, 3D, 5A, 5B, 5C and 5D . - The crystalline nature of the platinum, gold, and silver nanocomposites was confirmed by the X-ray diffraction analysis. The typical XRD patterns of the prepared samples could be indexed to (1 1 1), (2 0 0), (2 2 0), and (3 1 1) planes of face-centered cubic bulk metallic counterparts.
- The morphology and particle size of the prepared platinum nanocomposites were analyzed using transmission electron microscopy.
FIGS. 1A-1D show TEM images of the platinum nanocomposites. The platinum nanoparticle size varied between 1-3 nm. The TEM images suggested well dispersed platinum particles on the graphene oxide and carbon nanotube substrates, respectively. The elemental profiles of the prepared nanocomposites were analyzed using TEM with an energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDX) setup. The EDX spectrum (FIG. 2A ) for the Pt-CNT nanocomposite showed Pt, C, and Cu peaks, which suggested the presence of platinum nanoparticles on the CNT.FIG. 2B exhibited the Pt, C, O, and Cu peaks, which indicates the presence of platinum nanoparticles on graphene oxide. The Cu peaks correspond to the copper grid used for TEM analysis. - The morphology and particle size of the prepared gold nanocomposites were analyzed using transmission electron microscopy.
FIGS. 3A-3D show TEM images of the gold nanocomposites. Our results suggested that 10-20 nm spherically shaped gold nanoparticles are uniformly formed on GO and CNT. The elemental profiles of the prepared nanocomposites were analyzed using TEM with an energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDX) setup. The EDX spectrum (FIG. 4A ) for the Au-CNT nanocomposite showed Au, C, and Cu peaks, which suggested the presence of gold nanoparticles on the CNT.FIG. 4B exhibited the Au, C, O, and Cu peaks, which indicates the presence of gold nanoparticles (Au) on graphene oxide (C, O). The Cu peaks correspond to the copper grid used for TEM analysis. - The morphology and particle size of the prepared silver nanocomposites were analyzed using transmission electron microscopy.
