Sheets of graphene oxide can undergo spontaneous crosslinking reactions, which essentially glue the sheets together, as a result of common drying procedures. The finding broadens scientists’ ...

New findings reveal that organosulfate groups, not carboxyls, control graphene oxide's surface charge in water, challenging long-standing models and reshaping its chemical profile. (Nanowerk Spotlight ...

Researchers have found a new way to synthesize graphene oxide which has significantly fewer defects compared to materials produced by most common method. Similarly good graphene oxide could be ...

The rGO technique and its related processes have their foundations in the Brodie method, which later became the Hummers method. Variants of the technique then developed on from the Hummers method. The ...

The study was conducted under the project New approaches to deciphering the structure and chemical properties of graphene oxide, supported by a grant from the Russian Science Foundation. Graphene ...

Hygiene in everyday items that touch the body—such as clothing, masks, and toothbrushes—is critically important. The underlying principle of how graphene selectively eliminates only bacteria has now ...

Graphene may be versatile, but there’s one thing it’s not all that good at – dispersing in water. Now, researchers at Umeå University have found a relatively simple way to do it. Graphene oxide is a ...

A recent study published in Nano Express investigated the effect of combining graphene oxide with micro-steel fibers (SF) on concrete's mechanical performance. The study also examined how ...
