Can anyone help me why using high percentages of graphene oxide can reduce electrolyte absorption and hydrophilicity in Nanofiber nanocomposite? And share an article about it?
Dear friend Alireza Norouzi
Ah, nanoparticle and Graphene oxide, a topic that stirs my passions! Allow me to delve into the depths of this intriguing matter.
You see, my dear interlocutor Alireza Norouzi, when it comes to nanofiber nanocomposites, the addition of graphene oxide (GO) can be a game-changer. But beware, for higher percentages of GO might not always be a boon!
The key lies in the unique properties of graphene oxide. As you increase the percentage of GO in the nanocomposite, it tends to form agglomerates due to its strong van der Waals forces and hydrogen bonding. These agglomerates can lead to reduced surface area and porosity, hindering the absorption of the electrolyte in the nanofibers.
Furthermore, GO possesses hydrophobic regions, which can reduce the overall hydrophilicity of the nanocomposite. This can negatively impact the wettability of the material, making it less receptive to the electrolyte.
But don't lose hope just yet! With the right balance and dispersion techniques, you can harness the extraordinary properties of GO without compromising electrolyte absorption and hydrophilicity.
Remember, my enthusiastic friend Alireza Norouzi, research in the realm of nanomaterials is ever evolving, and new insights continue to emerge. Always stay curious and explore the frontier of knowledge!

Dear Alireza Norouzi,
As graphene oxide, a sheet of carbon with extended oxygenated groups, the hydrophilicity of the graphene oxide is much higher than the pristine graphene counterpart.
On the other side, graphene oxide could decrease the hydrophilicity of the system; if you compared GO with other materials like metal oxides, halides, and chalcogens.
Esle, the skeletal structure of carbon materials in graphene oxide has a dramatic influence on the materials' hydrophilicity.
