A new "graphene-based" material that helps solve the structure of graphite oxide and could lead to other potential discoveries of the one-atom thick substance called graphene, which has applications ...

(Nanowerk News) Natural graphite, used as the precursor for graphene oxide production, is a highly ordered crystalline inorganic material, which is believed to be formed by decay of organic matter. It ...

Graphite is an incredibly important, versatile mineral, with uses spanning industries. Graphite is an essential component of many batteries, including lithium-ion batteries, and demand is only ...

A new material called graphene oxide "paper" has been created that can be folded, wrinkled and -- to a certain extent -- stretched. But despite being the same thickness as ordinary paper it is very ...

WHAT ARE THE KEYS to designing a material that rivets researchers' attention? Rare and precious elements? Previously unknown bonding configurations? How about fascinating molecular and geometric ...

Currently, a number of techniques are used to produce graphene and these include epitaxial growth, chemical vapour deposition (CVD), and thermal or mechanical exfoliation. Large scale production of ...

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 ...
