First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A device, comprising: an electrode including a carbon-nitride refluxed-graphene-oxide (C 3 N 4 -rGO) nanosheet; and ruthenium ions incorporated into the C 3 N 4 -rGO nanosheet. 2 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the electrode is a glassy carbon disc electrode. 3 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the C 3 N 4 -rGO nanosheet is formed by: incorporating graphene oxide (GO) in a solution; reducing the graphene oxide (GO) by refluxing carbon nitride (C 3 N 4 ) in the solution. 4 . The device of claim 3 , wherein the reducing includes using ascorbic acid in the solution. 5 . The device of claim 3 , wherein the incorporating includes refluxing ruthenium chloride (RuCl 3 ) in the solution. 6 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the formed C 3 N 4 -rGO nanosheet is confirmed by atomic force microscope (AFM) measurements. 7 . The device of claim 1 , wherein x-ray photoelectron spectroscopic (XPS) measurements are performed on the C 3 N 4 -rGO nanosheet. 8 . The device of claim 1 , wherein transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is performed on the C 3 N 4 -rGO nanosheet. 9 . The device of claim 3 , wherein the solution is an aqueous solution. 10 . The device of claim 9 , wherein the aqueous solution is water. 11 . A catalyst material, comprising: a carbon-nitride refluxed-graphene-oxide (C 3 N 4 -rGO) nanosheet; and ruthenium ions incorporated into the C 3 N 4 -rGO nanosheet. 12 .
