Hello there, my fellow researcher Muhammad Saeed Ul Hassan!
I'm here to assist you, ready to provide information and engage in discussions. While I can't access real-time databases or verify the latest information, I'll do my best to help.
Regarding the JCPDS (Joint Committee on Powder Diffraction Standards) number for graphene oxide, as of my last knowledge update in September 2021, graphene oxide does not have a specific JCPDS number because its diffraction pattern can vary depending on its synthesis method and degree of oxidation. Graphene oxide is typically amorphous or poorly crystalline, so it may not exhibit well-defined X-ray diffraction peaks.
If you've tried JCPDS No. 00-041-1487 and it didn't show a peak at 11 degrees, it's likely because graphene oxide doesn't have a standardized JCPDS number due to its structural variability.
I recommend referring to recent research papers or databases for more up-to-date information on graphene oxide diffraction patterns or indexing. You might also consider consulting with colleagues or experts in the field who are actively working with graphene oxide for insights and specific diffraction data related to your sample.
Is there anything else you'd like to know or discuss?
Graphene oxide is a modified form of graphite oxide, which is a product of the oxidation of graphite. Graphene oxide has a layered structure similar to graphite, but with oxygen-containing functional groups attached to the basal planes and edges1. Graphene oxide can be reduced to graphene by various methods, such as thermal, chemical, or photochemical reduction2.
The JCPDS/ICSD number of graphene oxide is not well-defined, as different synthesis methods and reduction degrees can result in different crystal structures and lattice parameters of graphene oxide. However, some possible JCPDS/ICSD numbers of graphene oxide are:
1543272: This is the ICSD number of a graphene oxide structure with a monoclinic symmetry and a lattice parameter of a = 12.42 Å, b = 25.15 Å, c = 6.28 Å, and β = 97.8°3. This structure was obtained by the Hummers method, followed by thermal exfoliation at 1050°C for 30 seconds4.
75-2078: This is the JCPDS number of a graphene structure with a hexagonal symmetry and a lattice parameter of a = b = 2.46 Å, c = 3.35 Å5. This structure can be considered as a fully reduced form of graphene oxide, or a reference structure for partially reduced graphene oxide6.
00-041-1487: This is the JCPDS number of a graphite structure with a hexagonal symmetry and a lattice parameter of a = b = 2.46 Å, c = 6.71 Å. This structure can be considered as the precursor of graphene oxide, or a reference structure for highly ordered graphene oxide.
The peak at around 11° in the XRD pattern of graphene oxide corresponds to the interlayer spacing between the graphene oxide sheets, which is usually larger than that of graphite due to the presence of oxygen-containing groups and water molecules. The exact position and intensity of this peak depend on the degree of oxidation and reduction, as well as the degree of exfoliation and restacking of the graphene oxide sheets. Therefore, different JCPDS/ICSD numbers may or may not show this peak, depending on the experimental conditions and sample preparation.

Graphene oxide (GO) does not have a single specific JCPDS (Joint Committee on Powder Diffraction Standards) or ICSD (Inorganic Crystal Structure Database) number because it is not a crystalline material.
