Graphene oxide is a unique material that is a single monomolecular layer of graphite with various oxygen containing functionalities such as epoxide, carbonyl, carboxyl and hydroxyl groups.

When the electrically insulating graphene oxide is reduced it resembles graphene but contains residual oxygen and other heteroatoms as well as structural defects. This form is called reduced graphene oxide rGO.

Graphene oxide and reduced graphene oxide can be used in electronic devices, nanocomposite materials, polymer composite materials, energy storage, biomedical applications and catalysis. When we compare graphene oxide and reduced graphene oxide we can see some differences between them. The advantage of reduced graphene oxide has over graphene is that it can be stored longer without agglomeration. Reduced graphene oxide is more stable in organic solvents. Also reduced graphene oxide is conductive whereas graphene oxide is not conductive and isn’t as strong.

Reduced graphene oxides has an important role in electronics. Reduced graphene oxide can be used in light emitting diodes and solar cell devices. For both of these materials visible light transparent electrodes are so important. Using reduced graphene oxide as a transparent electrode is a convenient alternative to other transparent electrodes for these devices. In addition to being a transparent electrode, reduced graphene oxide has been used as a hole transport layer in polymer solar cells and LEDs.

When we look at the other application areas of reduced graphene oxide we can see it can be used as high capacity energy storage in lithium ion batteries. In these applications, electrically insulating metal oxide nanoparticles/nanopowder are adsorbed onto reduced graphene oxide to increase the performance of these materials in batteries. So it can be said that the high surface area reduced graphene oxide is useful as an energy storage material in supercapacitors.

Reduced graphene oxides can also be used in biosensors. In many researches reduced graphene oxide have been used as components in several systems designed to detect biologically relevant molecules.

Graphene possesses some exceptional characteristics, including:

• Graphene is stronger than kevlar and 200 x stronger than steel. 
• Extremely lightweight, Graphene at 0.77 mg per M² is 1,000 x lighter than regular paper. 
• Graphene at one atom thick is the thinnest material we can see.
• Best known conductor of electicity and can move electrons 10 x faster than silicon using less energy.
• Best know conductor of heat at room temperature.
• Graphene can absorb 2.3% of white light remarkable considering how thin the material is.
• Sustainable, renewable and eco-friendly as carbon is the 4th most abundant material on earth.

Graphene Oxide:

Although Graphene has a myriad of features, its productions are relatively hard and expensive. However, At RINZTECH, we prepare Graphene Oxide from the oxidation of Graphite that is comparatively cheaper and can be produced in abundance. Just as the name suggests, Graphene Oxide is the oxidised version of Graphene, which is laced with the groups containing oxygen. The substance is in dispersible in water and other solvents as well. The product is sold in forms of powder, the coating on the substrates, or as dispersion material.

Why Graphene Oxide?

Because of its unique properties Graphene Oxide can be used to enhance the properties of most products in virtually every industry, including Aerospace, Medicine, Construction, Automotive, Electronics, Clothing, Cosmetic, Textiles, Food, Agriculture, Sports Equipment & Health.

Recently, Graphene Oxide has been in much demand for being used in the materials used in Space. The substance is environment-friendly. Graphene Oxide is used along with Nano porous membranes, which plays a significant role in the desalination of water, and acts as an excellent water filtrate. Also, the property of Graphene Oxide being able to remove the radioactive materials from contaminated water bodies.
