Hi friends,
I am working on characterization of a graphene oxide. The FTIR analysis gave peak values at 3700, 2100, 1500, 1200 cm-1.
we have synthesized graphene oxide like this one.

but the FTIR results are not at all similar. Where did we go wrong?
or did we interpret it wrong?
Thanks in advance.
Ms. Cansu!
In my opinion, your FT-IR result is not wrong because your spectrum has peaks associated with oxygen-containing groups, which include the peak located at the range of 1000~1100cm-1 , of 1150~1200cm-1 and of 1550~1750cm-1, etc., corresponding to alkoxy(/alkoxide) group, epoxy(epoxide) and carboxyl groups, respectively.
FT-IR spectrum of GO are affected by many different factors, there are no absolute standard GO spectrum in FT-IR.
