Morphology characterization of graphite oxide (GO) and rGO was performed using a scanning field emission electron microscope Zeiss
ULTRA plus FE-SEM (Jena, Germany). SEM images were acquired at 2 kV using InLens or SE2 detector at WD 5.5 mm. Elemental analysis of the samples was done inside SEM using EDS analysis with an Oxford X-Max SDD detector (Wycombe, UK), processed with INCA software (Wycombe, UK). EDS analysis was carried out at 20 kV.
Specific surface area (m
2/g) was measured by N
2 adsorption at 77 K on an ASAP 2020 Micromeritics (Norcross, GA, USA) instrument using the BET analysis method. Samples were degassed under vacuum (5 millitorr) at 120 °C for 2 h.
Microanalyses were performed by combustion analysis on a Perkin-Elmer
CHN Analyzer 2400 II.
Potentiometric measurements were performed using the digital pH/mV meter model
Seven Easy (Mettler-Toledo, GmbH, Schwerzenbach, Switzerland). The electrochemical cell was completed with an external Ag/AgCl reference electrode, model InLab
® Reference—51343190 (Mettler-Toledo GmbH, Schwerzenbach, Switzerland). A Premium hotplate stirrer model MSH-20A (Witeg Labortechnik, GmbH, Wertheim, Germany) was used for stirring the solutions.
Measurements of the pH values of the solutions were performed using a pH electrode
InLab Expert Pro (Mettler Toledo GmbH, Greifensee, Switzerland).
