Composite Materials Addtive Reduced Graphene Oxide Dispersion Liquid (with Chemical Reduction Process)

Product Description:

Graphene material produced starting from GO with chemical reduction or thermal reduction process will be called reduced graphene oxide(rGO). In some applications, GO to rGO’s reduction is done during the material composite process.First, using GO's good surface wettability for dispersion, then in-situ reduction is carried out to achieve the composite of different materials. RGO’s surface defect site is relatively lesser than GO and it is more closer to single-layer graphene in structure and property.The most commonly used dispersant is deionized water, while ethanol,NMP, DMF, etc., can also be used as a dispersant for rGO.

Product advantages：

1.Thin layer, stable dispersion, easy for processing

2.Better lubrication effect, lower layer, with better wear resistance, is a good composite material.

3.rGO dispersion liquid(with chemical reduction process) still keep a little oxygen-containing functional groups,the properties are more active then GNP(graphene produced by physical method), will be more easier to graft modification then composite with other materials. rGO products can be customized according to different reduction methods and reducing agents.

Project Case (Before vs After)

1.The material’s hydrophobic performance can be improved effectively

Areas of application：

1.Textile field: Graphene materials and ordinary textiles’s effective combination, can make the textile retain their own performance ,meanwhile access to graphene’s one or several special properties, such as conductive, flame-retardant, antibacterial, anti-ultraviolet ray, anti-electromagnetic radiation, magnetic therapy, anionic health care, etc., can be applied in the field of special protection, smart fabrics and so on;

2.Graphene photocatalytic materials: Graphene/titanium dioxide photocatalytic materials in the visible light or ultraviolet light has a strong reducing ability, stable chemical properties, can be formaldehyde, toluene, xylene, ammonia, odor, bacteria, microorganisms, and other harmful organic matter completely decomposed into carbon dioxide and water. Graphene/titanium dioxide photocatalytic material can be applied to various photocatalytic sprays for air pollution treatment, such as applied to indoor air purification, formaldehyde removal, outdoor environment air purification, etc.; nano antimicrobial coatings; wastewater treatment, such as decomposition of organic matter in wastewater from paper mills, dyeing and printing factories, and chemical plants. The application prospect is broad.

3.Construction materials: Graphene construction materials are formed by using graphene as the core and compositing with other materials through its high strength and strain hardening properties. The characteristics of graphene flakes can be utilized to strengthen the thermal conductivity and strength of the material, while effectively reducing the density of the material. Usually in the concrete material to increase a strength level, a single square of concrete need to increase 30kg cement, if mixed with graphene, then to achieve the same strength level, can save cement about 10%. The advantages are high strength, good thermal conductivity, good emissivity and oxidation resistance.In 2018, a hospital in London, UK, applied a roof built with graphene material. This roof utilizes special 3D printing and steel structure, and through the high thermal conductivity of graphene material, the temperature inside the hospital will be drastically reduced in the summer, saving the hospital's air conditioning energy consumption.

4.Graphene anti-corrosion coatings: Graphene material in the sheet diameter is very small can still maintain a great diameter-thickness ratio, add a small amount of graphene in the coating on the line to effectively form a lap, the formation of a more complete shielding layer, delay the penetration of corrosive media, greatly reducing the permeability of chloride ions. According to graphene's high conductivity, add a very small amount of zinc powder coating (<0.3%), the coating and zinc powder can form a conductive network, improve the utilization of zinc powder, so that the entire coating relative to the steel to become the "anode", and significantly improve the cathodic protection performance of the zinc powder primer.

Frequently Asked Questions：

Q: What is reduced graphene oxide?

A: Reduced graphene oxide(rGO) is produced by GO after reduction.The chemical reduction process produced rGO compare with physical method produced graphene nanoplatelets(GNP), still keep two defects: one is residual oxygen-containing functional groups,hydroxyl and carboxyl groups can be effectively reduced, but carbonyl groups are difficult to be reduced; the other one is the hole, during the process of rGO , the oxidation and washing stage will lead to the loss of carbon skeleton and the formation of holes in the lamellar layer, which can not be repaired during reduction.

Q: What types of graphene materials are there?

A: According to the different preparation processes, graphene materials can be divided into two categories: graphene oxide and graphene, and graphene can be divided into graphene nanoplatelets prepared by physical method, usually denoted by GNP, and reduced graphene oxide prepared by chemical reduction process, usually denoted by rGO, according to the different preparation processes.

Q: What are the different conditions of use for these three types of graphene products?

A: GO has better hydrophilicity and can be stably dispersed in water without adding any additives, but some lattice defects are introduced in the process of oxidative intercalation, so GO is almost non-conductive; GNP has a complete lattice and better electrical conductivity, but GNP is highly hydrophobic and extremely difficult to be dispersed without dispersing additives and the number of layers is higher than that of graphene oxide.The conductivity and dispersibility of rGO is between GO and GNP, and it is necessary to add appropriate amount of dispersing additives in the process of using.

Q:Has the rGO dispersion liquid been ultrasonically treated ? Does it need to be ultrasonically dispersed again before use?

A:The rGO dispersion liquid has been ultrasonically treated before shipping, because dispersion of rGO is worse than GO, we advise to repeat the ultrasound for 5~10min before use.
