A few years ago, his lab made
graphene oxide — a functional form of
graphene — and fabricated it
into a multilayer, micrometer - thick, paper - like membrane.
It involved dispersing
graphene oxide in a solution, loading in a small amount of ruthenium and then freeze - drying the new solution and turning it
into a foam.
Dr Joshi said: «The new treatment system is made by converting naturally occurring graphite
into graphene oxide membranes that allow high water flow at atmospheric pressure, while removing virtually all of the organic matter.»

graphene oxide sheets.
Stein and Amadei applied both techniques to solutions of
graphene oxide flakes and observed similar effects: The bubbles that were created in solution eventually collapsed, releasing energy that caused the flakes to spontaneously curl
into scrolls.

graphene oxide flakes in solution and stimulated the flakes to curl
into scrolls, using two similar approaches: a low - frequency tip - sonicator, and a high - frequency custom reactor.

oxide molecules are removed to turn
graphene oxide nanoribbons
into GNRs.

graphene does double duty as a barrier that keeps platinum from migrating
into the tantalum
oxide and causing a short circuit.
Researchers at Rice University and Lomonosov Moscow State University discovered that tiny bits of
graphene oxide bond with radioactive contaminants, turning them
