Evaluation and Optimization of Tour Method for Synthesis of Graphite Oxide with High Specific Surface Area

Many of the graphene-based structures exhibit an adsorption capacity due to their high specific surface area (SSA) and micropore volume. This makes them competent materials for applications in energy environmental sectors where efficiency is highly dependent on these properties applications, such as water decontamination, solar cells or storage. The aim this work study graphene-related (GRM) a SSA requirement, considering ideal graphene ≅ 2600 m2g−1. For synthesis most GRMs, some oxidation method Tour used oxidize graphite oxide (GrO) initial step. Our studies optimization step evaluate best conditions obtain GrO with maximum possible SSA. different parameters influencing process have been evaluated optimized by applying experimental design (ED). resulting characterized Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET), elemental analysis (EA), X-ray diffraction (XRD) Raman scanning electron microscopy (SEM). evaluation results shows 67.04 m2g−1 temperature 60 °C, time 12 h, H2O2 volume 50 mL 4 g KMnO4.
