Graphene oxide is an oxidized form of graphene. The exact structure of graphene oxide depends on the synthesis method used, but it typically consists of graphene sheets laced with covalently bonded ...

Physicists from Umeå University and Humboldt University in Berlin have solved a mystery that has puzzled scientists for half a century. They show with the help of powerful microscopes that the ...

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 ...

The video shows the surface of a material that was originally graphite, and how its appearance changes in waves. Above the footage, changes in voltage are displayed. When the voltage is high, many ...

No time to make graphene via conventional routes? Then make it "in a flash." Northwestern University scientists have just demonstrated that graphite oxide can be converted instantly to graphene via ...

Dry exfoliation, also called mechanical exfoliation, is the process of splitting a layered material into atomically thin sheets. This type of exfoliation can be carried out both mechanically and ...

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 ...

Physicists have solved a mystery that has puzzled scientists for half a century. They show with the help of powerful microscopes that the distance between graphite oxide layers gradually increases ...
