Graphene oxide is– true to its name– oxidized graphene. ChemCeed’s article on graphene has already discussed a strange quirk in the history of graphene itself. Graphene was first discovered in 2004, even though carbon nanotubes (CNT), which are made of graphene, were discovered in 1991. Well, get ready for another surprising paradox: graphene oxide (GO)...

Graphene is often described as “two dimensional,” because it is a substance that is one atom in thickness: a flat lattice of carbon atoms. And yet, graphene’s tensile strength is roughly 200 times greater than steel. As an added bonus, graphene is also highly conductive and very flexible. Although 2D graphene was first isolated by...
