GO was synthesized via the modified route developed by Marcano et al. (20 (link)). Into the mixture of concentrated sulfuric acid (120 mL; Ward’s Science, 470302-872) and phosphoric acid (13 mL; Sigma-Aldrich, 345245), graphite flakes (1 g; Sigma-Aldrich, 332461) were added. Potassium permanganate (6 g; Sigma-Aldrich, 223468) was slowly added, after which the mixture was placed in a water bath at 45 °C and stirred overnight. The reaction mixture was then moved into an ice bath and deionized (DI) water (100 mL) was poured in, followed by the addition of 30% H2O2 (1.5 mL; Sigma-Aldrich, 216763). The mixture was allowed to sit for 2 h and was then centrifuged at 5,000 rpm for 20 min. The solid material at the bottom was retrieved and washed extensively with DI water by centrifugation until the pH reached 5. Finally, the remaining viscous material was collected and stirred overnight to make a GO stock solution in water. After drying at 80 °C, XPS measurements were performed on GO flakes with a PerkinElmer PHI 5600 X-ray photoelectron spectrometer.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
