    In this study, the influence of reduced graphene oxide (rGO)−Tricalcium Aluminate Hexahydrate (C3AH6) cement nanocomposites on electrochemical properties was investigated. The rGO-C3AH6 nanocomposite samples with various of rGO laoding, such as, C3AH6_rGO-1, 3, 5, 7, 10 and 20 wt.% were easily synthesized by a rapid cement hydration method. The maximum specific surface area and average pore size diameters were 74.20 m<sup>2</sup>/g and 11.72 nm for C3AH6_rGO-20%. The charge tranfering in C3AH6_rGO nanocomposites was described using band alignments model occurring between C3AH6 and rGO. Interestingly, the increasing of both dielectric property and stability in frequency of C3AH6_rGO composite samples can be explained by the high density of free electron charges on the rGO surface. Moreover, the electrochemical properties of C3AH6_rGO electrodes had excellent capacitive properties displaying the storage charge mechanism of a hybridsupercapacitor behavior. The large rGO content of the C3AH6_rGO nanocomposite capacitor with electrolyte interfaces showed excellent electrochemical performance. The highest value of 80.479 F g <sup>−1</sup> was obtained from C3AH6_rGO-20% at a current density of 0.2 A g <sup>−1</sup> with cycling stability of 96.51% after 1000 cycles.

    The electrochemical and enhanced thermoelectric properties of pristine Bi<inf>2</inf>Te<inf>3</inf> and Bi<inf>2</inf>Te<inf>3</inf>/reduced graphene oxide (Bi<inf>2</inf>Te<inf>3</inf> + rGO) composites at 1%, 3% and 5% levels of rGO were synthesized via a simple ultrasonic method. The X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), UV–vis spectrometry (UV–vis) and their electrochemical and thermoelectric properties were measured. The ultrasonic method succeeded in producing rGO nanosheets composited with Bi<inf>2</inf>Te<inf>3</inf> forming grain boundary interfaces of rGO with Bi<inf>2</inf>Te<inf>3</inf>. The resulting samples displayed a continuous network structure of rGO nanosheets in Bi<inf>2</inf>Te<inf>3</inf> + rGO composites for electrons in the conduction band of the Bi<inf>2</inf>Te<inf>3</inf> structure. Electrons were transferred to rGO nanosheets at the interface, contributing electron charge carriers in Bi<inf>2</inf>Te<inf>3</inf> + rGO composites. This indicates band alignment between Bi<inf>2</inf>Te<inf>3</inf> and rGO nanosheets. The Bi<inf>2</inf>Te<inf>3</inf> + rGO composites exhibited an increasing storage charge mechanism of electrical double layer capacitors with greater rGO contents. The Bi<inf>2</inf>Te<inf>3</inf> + rGO composites displayed negative a Seebeck coefficient for thermoelectric materials. The highest ZT value was 0.17 in the bulk 1% Bi<inf>2</inf>Te<inf>3</inf> + rGO composite. Improved electrochemical and thermoelectric properties of the Bi<inf>2</inf>Te<inf>3</inf> + rGO 1% composite resulted from the interaction of the grain boundary interfaces of rGO nanosheets with pristine Bi<inf>2</inf>Te<inf>3</inf> following the model of band alignment between Bi<inf>2</inf>Te<inf>3</inf> and rGO nanosheets.
