Article Preview

Abstract:

Preparation of functionalized graphene by electrochemical exfoliation of graphite rod using sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate (SDBS) is reported. SDBS solution has been used as the electrolyte as well as functional groups. SDBD is an anionic surfactant which helps to provide uniform dispersion in water and prevents the π-π π-π stacking as well. XRD result indicates the formation of graphene whereas; the functionalization of graphene was confirmed through the FT-IR spectrum, which shows presence of peaks corresponding to SO3-. UV-vis spectroscopy demonstrates the dispersibility of SDBS-functionalized graphene, and peaks of SDBS and graphene appeared at 225 nm and 260nm, respectively. Raman spectroscopy show ID/IGIDIG ratio is < 1. It means that defects of SDBS-functionalized graphene are reduced.
