Is the pH of graphene oxide (GO) important for its application in a water purification membrane?

11 November 2013 1 1K Report

I am preparing GO by Hummer's method, I want to know if I can use it for water desalination, as a nanoparticle, without neutralization.

Edina Rusen

no, because the carboxylic function of the GO will retain anyway different cations.
