I have prepared graphite oxide using a Modified Hummers' method (basically I have followed Dimiev et al. approach, see attached). I need to conduct an XRD of the sample in the dry form, and would appreciate if I have your opinion/thoughts.
I am assuming it would be graphite oxide since I did not include a sonication step.
Thanks in advance!
Dear Maria,
Normally Graphite has its XRD peak 26 degrees and graphite oxide peak around 10 degrees. Preferred range is 5 - 60 degree.within this range you can see unoxidized graphite at 26.
Thankyou very much!
What about rotational speed and step or dwell per minute please? I cannot find this in most of the published papers.
5000 rpm, 15 min enough for separation. If still remain some, you can increase rpm or time.
