This speeds dissolution and can be used for samples that cannot easily be stirred. The shear from the cavitation and the liquid eddying caused by the vibrating transducer (probe) can hasten chemical reactions and break intermolecular bonds. The bubbles are very small at the start, but grow and coalesce, vibrate violently, and then collapse in the process called cavitation. The probe creates sound waves that produce pressure, causing liquid streaming and rapid bubble formation. In the laboratory, sonication can be applied via an ultrasonic probe, also called a sonicator or sonic dismembrator. When sound waves at ultrasonic frequencies (>20 kHz) are used, the process is called ultrasonification. An electrical signal is converted into a vibration that can mix solutions, dissolve solids into liquids, and remove dissolved gas from liquids. Sonication uses sound waves to disrupt substances. Sonochemical Reaction Vessels (630-0217, 630-0218)ĭevices employing ultrasonic waves to homogenize samples, particularly cells/subcellular structures in suspension also includes accessories and support devices such as power options, probes, sound enclosures, and more.

The thickness of the films was controlled by the volume of the mixture dropped on the cover slip.0.5 in. The hybrid thin films coated on the coverslips were obtained after drying for 3 days (in a vacuum oven for the 3rd day) at 40oC. After this, each mixture was dropped on a cover slip placed in a glass container as in Figure 2 3. All the mixtures were then treated by ultrasonic separately for another 30mins. Then GO/distilled water dispersion and SWCNTs, or MWCNTs, or MWCNTs-OH/distilled water dispersion were mixed to make different concentration by controlling the volume of GO. The prepared graphene and its water dispersion are presented in Figure 2 …show more content… SWCNTs, or MWCNTS, or MWCNTs-OH was also dissolved in distilled water by the assistance of ultra-sonication for the same time using Ultrasonic machine ( Fisher scientific Sonic Dismembrator Model 500, 300 W). Finally, to remove the melamine, hot water was used to repeatedly wash the mixtures.
The dried mixtures then underwent ball-milling to initially exfoliate the graphite layers, and then dispersed in de-ionised water and underwent further exfoliation with sonication for 1 hour using Ultrasonic machine ( Fisher scientific Sonic Dismembrator Model 500, 300 W). Later, the solutions were filtrated and dried for five hours at 80oC. This is to allow the melamine to fully penetrate and expand the graphite spaces. The solutions were then heated up to and kept at 80oC for 1 hour with constant stirring. The mixtures were dispensed into the de-ionised water to make solutions with a concentration of 1g/100ml.
Very recently, a simple and practical solution-casting method has been used to prepare the …show more content… The preparation of graphene is as follows: The expandable graphite was mixed with powder melamine in volume ratios of 1:1 and 1:3 to produce several mixtures as shown in table 2-1. Hence, there are still some hindrances in controlling CNT and graphene film preparation to get the large scale quality and the massive quantity. Moreover, graphene based electrodes needs lots of labour works which is time consuming and costly. For instance, EPD method commonly produces unsatisfied CNTs film strength and on the other hand, CVD technique is costly.
