摘要：Graphene and its analogs in combination with metal nanopowders are among the most promising catalysts for various industry valuable processes. The newly obtained solution combustion synthesized graphene–Cu and graphene–CuNi nanocomposites were examined in heterogeneous catalysis of thermal activated CO oxidation and photoactivated degradation of acid telon blue and direct blue dyes. The nanocomposites are characterized by a closely connected solution combustion synthesized graphene-metal structure with a number of graphene layers from 1 to 3 and fine metal grains sizes of 31 nm (Cu) and 14 nm (CuNi). The experimental data showed the obtained graphene-metal nanocomposites are among the most effective catalysts for CO oxidation with a temperature of 100% conversion of 150 °C and 200 °C for Cu and CuNi containing catalysts, respectively. At the same time, both nanopowders were found inactive for dyes degradation.
