PROCESS OF OBTAINING GRAFFITIOUS OXIDE AND GRAFFIN OXIDE, PRODUCTS AND USES

摘要

The subject matter addressed describes a process of obtaining graphite oxide and graphene oxide via microwave. The production of graphite oxide comprises the use of at least one of intercalation agent and an oxidizing agent that promotes the expansion and the oxidation of the graphite with well controlled conditions of power, temperature and time on the microwave.The technology allows the production of graphite oxide in a time greatly reduced, which ensures a more efficient method, scalable and less energy consumption. The graphite oxide can be easily esfoliado oxide to graphene by ultrasound.The graphene oxide thus obtained shows a high degree of oxidation, high thermal stability and high preservation of lateral area of leaves grafu00edticas. The technology also treats of the products obtained and their use.The graphene oxide can be used as an additive in polymer composites or for the production of reduced graphene oxide, for application in supercapacitors and batteries, among other uses.
