Three-dimensional graphene (3DG) sponge has attracted increasing attention because it 10 combines the unique properties of cellular materials and the excellent performance of graphene. 11 The preparation of 3DG sponge depends mainly on the self-assembly of graphene oxide sheets. 12 Here, we demonstrate facile fabrication of 3DG sponge with a large-scale and ordered porous 13 structure, exploiti...

The paper presents the results of investigations on resistance structures based on graphite oxide (GRO) and graphene oxide (rGO). The subject matter of the investigations was thaw the sensitivity of the tested structures was affected by hydrogen, nitrogen dioxide and carbon dioxide. The experiments were performed at a temperature range from 30 °C to 150 °C in two carrier gases: nitrogen and syn...

The current study both synthesizes and uses four compounds of graphene oxide (GO), nitrogen doped graphene oxide (ND-GO), high nitrogen doped graphene oxide (HND-GO), and three dimensional high nitrogen doped graphene oxide (3D-HND-GO) in order to remove a model anionic dye, Congo red (CR) from wastewaters. It also compares their carbon nano-structure, with regard to removal efficiency and find...

The graphene which is a two dimensional carbon structure has been significantly explored due to its excellent mechanical and physical properties. Based on its prominent properties, graphene has a wide range of useful applications. Among the methods for synthesizing graphene, chemical method is known as the most powerful method for mass production of graphene. During the process, to achieve high...

Broadband graphene oxide/PVA films were used as saturable absorbers (SAs) for mode locking erbium-doped fiber laser (EDFL) and ytterbium-doped fiber laser (YDFL) at 1.06 μm and 1.55 μm. They provide modulation depths of 3.15% and 6.2% for EDFL and YDFL, respectively. Stable self-starting mode-locked pulses are obtained for both lasers, confirming that the graphene oxide is cost-effective. We ha...

This work describes a rationalization of the interactions between two fully characterized graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) and a set of significant target molecules. The GNRs were carefully synthesized by unzipping multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) to yield graphene oxide nanoribbons (GNRox) containing 44 wt.% oxygen. The GNRox were reduced to yield reduced graphene oxide nanoribbons (GNRred) c...

Reduction of graphene oxide at the nanoscale is an attractive approach to graphene-based electronics. Here we use a platinum-coated atomic force microscope tip to locally catalyse the reduction of insulating graphene oxide in the presence of hydrogen. Nanoribbons with widths ranging from 20 to 80 nm and conductivities of >10(4) S m(-1) are successfully generated, and a field effect transistor i...
