We took ozonation as an effective method to re-oxidize graphene oxide (GO) and discussed the behaviour of ozone in ozonation process of graphene oxide according to the changes of optical properties, compositions and structure. The results indicated that the ozonation process may involve the oxidation stage and decomposition stage. The fluorescence shifted blue with prolonging ozonation time.

One of the methods of obtaining reduced graphene oxide (rGO) involves the oxidation of graphite to graphene oxide, which is then exfoliated and reduced. Each of these stages has a decisive influence on the properties of the produced nanoadditive, which determines its subsequent application. The process conditions which are examined during the oxidation stage are related to: The mixing time of the reactants before oxidation, sonication of the reaction mixture, and its composition. During reduction optimization, in turn, the form of the GO sample and the method of its purification, as well as the temperature at which this process took place, are examined. At each stage, the determined structural parameters of the produced materials (GO and rGO) are related to their morphology (SEM—scanning electron microscope), oxidation state (FTIR—Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, EDS—energy-dispersive spectrometer), structure defect (Raman spectroscopy), as well as the number of layers and crystalline structure (WAXS—wide-angle X-ray scattering). The obtained results show that the shorter mixing time of the reactants determines the formation of more oxygen functional groups. On the basis of the obtained results, the process conditions that enable the production of multilayer, well-exfoliated reduced graphene oxide, with only a slightly defected structure, are established.

The development of anilinium 2-acrylamide-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonate (Ani-AMPS) monomer, confirmed by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and FTIR, is systematically studied. Ani-AMPS contains two polymerizable functional groups, so it was submitted to selective polymerization either by free-radical or oxidative polymerization. Therefore, poly(anilinium 2-acrylamide-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic) [Poly(Ani-AMPS)] and polyaniline doped with 2-acrylamide-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid [PAni-AMPS] can be obtained. First, the acrylamide polymer, poly(Ani-AMPS), favored the π-stacking of the anilinium group produced by the inter- and intra-molecular interactions and was studied utilizing 1H NMR, 13C NMR, FTIR, and UV-Vis-NIR. Furthermore, poly(Ani-AMPS) fluorescence shows quenching in the presence of Fe2+ and Fe3+ in the emission spectrum at 347 nm. In contrast, the typical behavior of polyaniline is observed in the cyclic voltammetry analysis for PAni-AMPS. The optical properties also show a significant change at pH 4.4. The PAni-AMPS structure was corroborated through FTIR, while the thermal properties and morphology were analyzed utilizing TGA, DSC (except PAni-AMPS), and FESEM.
