Study on the Catalytic Activity of Graphene Oxide

Article Preview

Abstract:

Graphene oxide (GO), an oxygen-rich carbonaceous layered material, is produced by the strong oxidation of graphite. The GO aqueous suspension is very stable and can be fabricated to porous GO aerogels by a green method, unidirectional freeze-drying technology. GO shows catalytic activities in both solution and solid state. It can also act as reductant or oxidant depending on the reaction patterns. The product of the reaction was analyzed and the component change of the graphene oxide (GO) was monitored by x-ray photoelectron spectrometer, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The results confirm that GO not only acts as the reactant in the reaction, but also as the catalyst to catalyze the reaction.
