Chemically converted graphene (CCG) sheets can be flattened and stitched together by adding specific components to their suspension. This method improves graphene morphology for better material properties.

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Nanotechnology
  • Surface Chemistry

Background:

  • Chemically converted graphene (CCG) suspensions offer an economical route to graphene-based materials.
  • Transferring CCG to solid surfaces often results in defects like wrinkles and aggregates, negatively impacting its properties.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To control the morphology of individual graphene sheets during deposition from suspension.
  • To investigate the influence of additives on CCG morphology during solvent evaporation.

Main Methods:

  • Controlled solvent evaporation of CCG suspensions.
  • Addition of organic solvents and electrolytes to CCG suspensions.
  • Morphological analysis of deposited CCG sheets.

Main Results:
