A single layer of carbon atoms organised in a two-dimensional honeycomb lattice is called graphene, and it is the source of the novel material known as graphene oxide (GO) thin film.
By oxidising graphene and adding oxygen-containing functional groups to its surface, graphene oxide is produced. This technique increases graphene’s solubility and dispersibility, enabling it to be used in a variety of applications.
Due to the presence of oxygen functional groups, GO thin films have extraordinary characteristics. It has a big surface area, considerable flexibility mechanically, and great chemical stability. It is also simpler to produce and control while retaining some of graphene’s electrical and thermal conductivity properties.
High surface area, mechanical flexibility, and chemical stability are just a few of the qualities that make graphene oxide thin film special. These qualities make it a flexible material with uses in biomedicine, energy storage, sensing, water purification, and optoelectronics.
GO thin films are very desirable for the development of cutting-edge technologies and gadgets due to their adaptable optical characteristics and simplicity of integration into diverse substrates. Expanding the uses and realising the full potential of graphene oxide thin films are both possible with continued research and development in this area.
The Global Graphene Oxide Paper market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
To assist increase the shelf-life of fruits, Indian scientists have created a composite paper formed of carbon (graphene oxide) that is filled with preservatives. Contrary to current technology, which causes persistent toxicity when preservatives are absorbed by the fruit.
wrapper only releases the preservative when needed. With current technology, it is not feasible to reuse the wrapper. Preservatives are abundant in the compounds that include activated graphene oxide.
When cast into a fruit-wrapping paper, this highly preservative-loaded graphene oxide assures that the fruit is not laced with hazardous preservatives. This graphene fruit wrapper can be made using just the carbon released during the heating of biomass; as a result, it will increase the use of biomass and create jobs.
