Synthesis and Fabrication of Graphene Oxide Thin Film

摘要

The primary aim of the investigation is to synthesize graphene oxide at room temperature and fabricate a flexible free standing graphene oxide thin film. Modified Hummers technique was employed for the synthesis of graphene oxide using graphite as the starting material. Graphene oxide is a layered material consisting of hydrophilic oxygenated functional groups on their basal planes and edges. Graphene-oxide thin film has been fabricated via solventevaporation technique. Functional, elemental and structural analysis of the samples was performed using several characterization techniques.
