Deoxidation of Graphene using Caffeic Acid
نویسندگان
چکیده
The graphene which is a two dimensional carbon structure has been significantly explored due to its excellent mechanical and physical properties. Based on its prominent properties, graphene has a wide range of useful applications. Among the methods for synthesizing graphene, chemical method is known as the most powerful method for mass production of graphene. During the process, to achieve high electrical conductivity, reduction of the graphene is usually conducted. However the general reducing agents such as hydrazine (N2H4) and sodium borohydride (NaBH4) are harmful and toxic. In this study, we study a bio anti-oxidant as a reducing agent instead of the strong chemicals. The bio anti-oxidant is environmentally safe and relatively more effective for the reduction of graphene oxide. Keywords—Graphene, Graphene oxide, Antioxidant, Deoxidation, Caffeic Acid

متن کاملGreen preparation of reduced graphene oxide for sensing and energy storage applications
Preparation of graphene from chemical reduction of graphene oxide (GO) is recognized as one of the most promising methods for large-scale and low-cost production of graphene-based materials. This study reports a new, green, and efficient reducing agent (caffeic acid/CA) for GO reduction. The CA-reduced GO (CA-rGO) shows a high C/O ratio (7.15) that is among the best rGOs prepared with green red...

متن کاملCombination Effect of Caffeine and Caffeic Acid Treatment on the Oxidant Status of Ectopic Endometrial Cells Separated from Patients with Endometriosis
Background: Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease in which oxidative stress is a potential factor. Caffeine and caffeic acid are present in various foods and beverages with anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-carcinogenic properties. In this study, we aimed to investigate the ameliorative effects of caffeine, caffeic acid, and caffeine+caffeic acid treatments on oxidative stress...
