Size And Structure

The effect of particle size of natural graphite on the size and structure of graphene oxide (GO) was investigated by using natural flake graphite (NFG) with different particle size. GO was prepared by modified Hummers method. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Raman spectroscopy, laser scattering particle size distribution analyzer and Atom force microscopy (AFM) were used to identify the characteristics of NFG and GO. The results provide evidence of how the graphite particle size affects the oxidation process and sheet size of the GO. Varies size monolayer GO sheets could be produced from the graphite with different particle size. The sheet size of GO is much smaller than that of the graphite, and the sheet size reduced multiple is proportional to the graphite particle size. The smaller particle size graphite is easily to be oxidized for a higher concentration GO suspension, and for more defect in the structure. Thus, this study leads to a better understanding of the preparation process of GO and provides a way to produce GO in different sheet size suitable for different applications.

Modified Hummers Method

Graphene oxide (GO) is an oxidized nanosheets of graphite with a 2D planar structure. GO could be readily complexed with bio-entities as it possesses many oxygen-containing functionalities on its surface. The preparation process is fast, easy, and cost-effective. It was prepared using modified Hummers’ method in acidic solution as a primary solvent and potassium permanganate as an oxidizing agent. Afterwards, it was successfully characterized by FTIR, UV-visible spectroscopy, as well as XRD and Raman spectroscopy, and finally, SEM analysis. It was observed that the formed GO is mainly composed of carbon and oxygen elements rich in oxygen functional groups. Furthermore, the existence of (001) plane in XRD interprets the complete oxidation of graphite with d-spacing 9 Å. Moreover, Raman spectroscopy displayed the sp3 carbon hybridization, besides, the ID/IG ratio is found to be 0.84, which confirms the disorder between graphene oxide layers. The SEM images also pointed out that graphene oxide sheets were regularly stacked together as flake-like structures. Accordingly, the richness of oxygen-containing functionalities was confirmed. Hence, it is appropriate to be used as a base transducer for biosensing applications.

Thermal Stability Of

Graphene oxide (GO) was made by a modified Hummers method. Graphene oxide modified phenolic resin nanocomposites (GO/PF) were prepared by Steglich esterification, catalyzed by dicyclohexyl carbodiimide and 4-dimethylaminopyridine. The composites were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectrometry, differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray powder diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy. The result revealed that the graphene oxide was absolutely exfoliated and covalent linked GO/PF composite was obtained. The thermal stability of PF is remarkably improved by modification with GO.
