Abstract:
Graphene and its derivatives have attracted scientists’ interest due to their exceptional properties, making them alluring candidates for multiple applications. However, still little is known about the properties of as-obtained graphene derivatives during long-term storage. The aim of this study was to check whether or not 14 months of storage time impacts graphene oxide flakes’ suspension purity. Complementary micro and nanoscale characterization techniques (SEM, AFM, EDS, FTIR, Raman spectroscopy, and elemental combustion analysis) were implemented for a detailed description of the topography and chemical properties of graphene oxide flakes. The final step was pH evaluation of as-obtained and aged samples. Our findings show that purified flakes sustained their purity over 14 months of storage.Keywords:

Graphene oxide was synthesized from graphite flakes using modified Hummers' method. The interlayer spacings of graphite, graphite oxide and graphene oxide were measured using X-ray diffraction technique. The C/O atomic ratios of graphite oxide and graphene oxide were calculated from XPS measurements. The transformation of graphite to graphite oxide and finally to graphene oxide was clearly observed from the micro-Raman spectroscopy data and was confirmed from the FESEM micrographs. UV-VIS-NIR spectrophotometer was used to study the absorbance of graphene oxide and reduced graphene oxide samples. Finally, the chemically reduced graphene oxide was heat-treated in air to obtain chemically modified graphene.

A new method to separate graphite oxide (GO) modified by polyethylene oxide (PEO) by the aid of ultrasonic radiation was developed. Modified GO (graphene oxide or single layer of graphite oxide) did not show not appear crystalline peak (d002) on the X-Ray and took the form of a single layer graphene oxide on the image AFM and TEM. The exfoliated graphene oxide was reduced (RGO) to graphene by the reducing agent system HI – Acetic acid (HI-AcOH). The sheet resistance of RGOHI-AcOH is about 120 Ω/sq in the form graphene paper. In addition, FTIR, UV-Vis and Raman spectra showed more clearly about characteristics of graphite oxide, graphene oxide and RGOHI-AcOH.

In this study, graphite felt was treated with ammonia, and graphene was prepared from graphene oxide by the Hummers method. The as-obtained graphene oxide and graphene-modified graphite felt were then utilized as anode materials in all vanadium liquid flow batteries. The surface morphologies and electrochemical properties of the composite electrode materials were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transforms infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and charge–discharge experiments. The results showed improvement in charge–discharge performances of composite electrode materials prepared from graphite oxide and graphene-modified graphite felt. The current efficiencies of the graphene oxide/graphite felt and graphene/graphite felt composite electrodes at the current density of 30 mA/cm2 reached above 96%.

Abstract In this article, we report on carbonaceous impurities that residing in graphene oxide prepared from the chemical exfoliation of graphite significantly impact on the electrochemical capacitive qualities of graphene oxide and in situ electrochemically reduced graphene oxide as well. The results demonstrate that the carbonaceous impurities cause totally opposite effects on the electrochemical capacitive properties of graphene oxide and electrochemically reduced graphene oxide. After removal of the impurities, the specific capacitance of graphene oxide is greatly improved while the value for electrochemically reduced graphene is diminished. This finding is particularly favorable to reveal the inherent electrochemical capacitive qualities of graphene and contributes to further exploration of graphene as an electrode material in supercapacitiors.

Graphite oxide was firstly prepared by using Hummers method with natural flake graphite,with which graphene oxide was synthesized by supersonic oscillation.In the presence of reductant hydrazine hydrate,graphene oxide was then reduced to graphene by heating reflux.The structure of graphite,graphite oxide and graphene were all characterized by X-ray diffractometry and Raman spectra,the morphology of graphene was observed with a transmission electron microscope,and the electrochemical properties of graphene were investigated by cyclic voltammetry in a three electrode system.It can be known from the results that graphene with a thin folded structure and broadened diffraction peaks with weaker intensity,has the integrity between graphite and graphite oxide and a disorder graphite structure with the stacking orientation.The double-layer current of graphene is far larger than that of conductive carbon black XC-72,indicating a higher electrochemical active surface for graphene.

Abstract Graphene oxide and reduced graphene oxide attract a lot of attention due to graphene provides some properties that suitable for wider application. Properties of graphene are unique since it can be tuned regarding to its controlled synthesis method and several treatments. This work, graphene oxide was synthesized from used graphite electrode by modified Hummer’s method in which oxidation process controlled. Zinc was used to produce reduced graphene oxide. Graphene oxide and reduced graphene oxide were characterized by SEM, EDS, FT-IR, UV-vis, and XRD. Effective strategy was studied to produce graphene oxide and reduced graphene oxide by controlling its oxidation process. These results prove that chemical and structural properties of graphene oxide and reduced graphene oxide depend on oxidation duration. Furthermore, carbon/oxygen ratio was studied to evaluate effective oxidation process.
