The graphite oxide was prepared by oxidizing purified natural flake graphite via modified
Hummers method. The graphene oxide was prepared by graphite oxide exfoliating in …

The contamination of water sources with toxic pollutants such as heavy metals and organic
compounds is a major environmental challenge in today's industrial era. These pollutants …

Graphene-based materials are single-or few-layer platelets that can be produced in bulk
quantities by chemical methods. Herein, we present a survey of the literature on polymer …

An improved method for the preparation of graphene oxide (GO) is described. Currently,
Hummers' method (KMnO4, NaNO3, H2SO4) is the most common method used for …

Functionalized reduced graphene oxide (FRGO) wrapped with a phosphorus and nitrogen-
