Core-shell morphology of Au-TiO2@graphene oxide nanocomposite exhibiting enhanced hydrogen production from water Original Research Article Journal of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry, Available online 1 April 2016, Pages Rayees Ahmad Rather, Satnam Singh, Bonamali Pal
Graphical abstractA thin shell of graphene oxide (GO) coated over Au-TiO2 core nanocomposite exhibited better hydrogen production efficiency from water than bare Au-TiO2 catalyst under combined UV and visible light irradiation. The lower reduction potential of GO than TiO2 facilitates the decrease in recombination rate of charge carriers whereas Au loading increases the sensitization of TiO2 in the visible light resulting in the increase of solar to hydrogen conversion efficiency as compared to TiO2 and Au-TiO2.
 | Synthesis of reduced graphene oxide and enhancement of its electrical and optical properties by attaching ag nanoparticles Original Research Article Physica E: Low-dimensional Systems and Nanostructures, Available online 31 March 2016, Pages Sunny Khan, Javid Ali, Harsh, M. Husain, M. Zulfequar
Graphical abstractThe r-GO has been synthesised using modified Hummer's and Offeman method and Ag-NPs(nanoparticles) have been attached to it to enhance its electrical and optical properties. The conductivity increased ten times while the transmittance increased to 90% as against 70%, prior to attachment of Ag-NPs.

The chemical and physical properties of ionic liquids depend on the combination of cations and anions, and the length of the alkyl chains and functional groups also have a significant effect on their properties. The preparation of functionalized ionic liquids is usually accomplished by introducing functional groups into the cations, Functionized ionic liquids
