Structure and Properties of Chemically-reduced Functionalized Graphene Oxide Platelets

摘要

Green reduction of graphene oxide(GO) functionalized with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane and 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide hydrochloride/N-hydroxysuccinimide was performed by using ascorbic acid and sodium bisulfite.The obtained materials were characterized by thermo-gravimetric analysis,transmission electron microscopy.X-ray diffraction,UV-Vis,Fourier transform infrared and Raman spectroscopy techniques.The results indicated a strong dependence of the materials properties such as deoxygenation degree,absorption peak shift,crystallite size and functionalization degree on the functionalization approach and reducing agent.
