Analysis of the Dispersed State of Graphene Oxide (Isolated)

Graphene oxide is a nanocarbon material with a high aspect ratio and a high surface area with a thickness of about 1 nm and a sheet length of several to tens of microns. It has a flake-like structure with abundant oxygen functional groups and has a "high dispersibility" that is not available with other nanocarbon materials (carbon nanotubes and graphene) so far. This makes it easy to combine with various materials and can be used as a coating film or functional film. In recent years, it has been studied for applications in next-generation battery materials, antibacterial and antiviral substances, coatings, lubricants, water purification, catalysts, and other functional materials.
