I have successfully Synthesis Graphene nano-platelets. It is in powder form and now I want to make Graphene nano composite from my Graphene nano-platelets. Can I use that? Since in every literature everyone used Graphene-oxide so I am confused can I use my nano-platelets? Does that Graphene nano-platelets cause bad effect on my results? As if what kind of results can be expected from that?
It depends on the application of the composite. You should consider the chemical and other differences between the platelets and the oxide in relation to what you intend to use your composite for. Using graphene oxide is a compromise on conductivity given that GO is an insulator (or at least doesn't conduct so well).
Hi Muhammad, I think you have to consider two things. First, the interaction between graphene/graphene oxide with the host material. If the host material is completely non-polar you can hardly make a composite with graphene rather graphene oxide composite will be much easier. Second, agglomeration of graphene during the formation of compost.
