For the functionalization of pure graphene, nitric acid was refluxed at 80 ° C for 12 hours. If the temperature increases, the time is reduced, will have the same effect?
If you use concentrated HNO3 acid , graphene sheets may be damaged a high temperature such as above 80 0C.You can use Raman shift to check the defects in graphene sheets.The most safe factors are use of diluted acid and refluxing at moderate temperature .
