Reduced graphite oxides (rGOs) were prepared by the common graphite oxidation method and the subsequent reductions. The reduction of graphite oxides (GOs) was conducted chemically and/or thermally. To further reduce the as-prepared rGOs, GOs were treated with chemical/thermal reductions or thermal/chemical reductions, in which the reduction sequence was also considered. The structural changes of as-prepared rGOs, depending on reduction methods, were investigated by X-ray diffraction analyses, Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. In addition, we discuss the structural change of the rGOs and their closely related physical and electrical properties, such as thermogravimetry, nitrogen adsorption isotherm, and sheet resistance.

Graphite oxide (GO) was produced using the modified Hummer's method. Poly(p-phenylene sulfide) (PPS)/reduced graphite oxide (RGO) composites were prepared by in situ polymerization method. The electrical conductivity of the PPS/RGO composites was no more than 82 S/m. It was found that as GO content increased in the PPS/RGO composites, the crystallization temperature and electrical conductivity of the composites increased and the percolation threshold value was at 5-8 wt% of GO content.

In this work, the reduced graphene nanosheets were synthesized from pre-exfoliated graphite flakes. The pristine graphite flakes were firstly pre-exfoliated to graphite nanoplatelets in the presence of acetic acid. The obtained graphite nanoplatelets were treated by Hummer's method to produce graphite oxide sheets and were finally exfoliated to graphene nanosheets by ultrasonication and reduction processes. The prepared graphene nanosheets were studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). From the results, it was found that the preexfoliation process showed significant influence on preparation of graphite oxide sheets and graphene nanosheets. The prepared graphene nanosheets were applied to the preparation of conductive materials, which yielded a greatly improved electrical resistance of $200{\Omega}/sq$.

ZnO(산화아연)와 rGO(환원 흑연산화물, reduced graphite oxide)로 구성된 복합체를 제조하여 중저온 영역($300-500^{\circ}C$)에서 $H_2S$(황화수소) 흡착실험을 수행하였다. rGO에 붙어있는 수산화기, 에폭시기, 그리고 카르복실기와 같은 산소를 포함하는 관능기들이 $H_2S$흡착에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위해서 다양한 특성분석(TGA, XRD, FT-IR, SEM, 그리고 XPS)을 실시하였다. GO(흑연산화물, graphite oxide)를 rGO로 환원시키기 위해서 마이크로파 조사법을 사용하였다. 마이크로파 조사법에 의한 환원공정에서는 온화한 환원분위기를 조성하여 rGO 표면에 상당량의 산소 관능기들이 남아있는 것을 확인하였다. 이러한 관능기들은 나노 크기의 ZnO가 2D rGO 표면에 균일하게 부착되도록 유도하여 고온 영역에서도 ZnO의 응집 및 소결이 일어나는 것을 방지하는 효과가 있다. 이로 인해 ZnO/rGO 복합체는 순수한 ZnO와 비교하여 3.5배 정도의 흡착량을 보여주었다.

Graphene oxide has been synthesized by microwave-assisted exfoliation of graphite oxide prepared by modified Hummers method. Graphite was oxidized in a solution of $H_2O_2$ and $KMnO_4$ at $65{\sim}80^{\circ}C$, followed by 10 % $H_2O_2$ solution treatment at $80{\sim}90^{\circ}C$. The graphite oxide was exfoliated under microwave irradiation of 1 kW and was reduced to graphene effectively by hydrazine hydrate ($H_4N_2{\cdot}H_2O$) treatment. The exfoliation of graphene oxide was significantly affected by the microwave irradiation on (heating)/off (cooling) period. An on/off period of 10 s/20 s resulted in much more effective exfoliation than that of 5 s/10 s with the same total treatment time of 10 min. This can be explained by the higher exfoliation temperature of 10 s/20 s. Repetition of the graphite oxidation and exfoliation processes also enhanced the exfoliation of graphene oxide. The thickness of the final graphene products was estimated to be several layers. The D band peaks of the Raman spectra of the final graphene products were quite low, suggesting a high crystal quality.

This paper reports the effect of adding reduced graphene oxide (RGO) as a conductive material to the composition of an electrode for capacitive deionization (CDI), a process to remove salt from water using ionic adsorption and desorption driven by external applied voltage. RGO can be synthesized in an inexpensive way by the reduction and exfoliation of GO, and removing the oxygen-containing groups and recovering a conjugated structure. GO powder can be obtained from the modification of Hummers method and reduced into RGO using a thermal method. The physical and electrochemical characteristics of RGO material were evaluated and its desalination performance was tested with a CDI unit cell with a potentiostat and conductivity meter, by varying the applied voltage and feed rate of the salt solution. The performance of RGO was compared to graphite as a conductive material in a CDI electrode. The result showed RGO can increase the capacitance, reduce the equivalent series resistance, and improve the electrosorption capacity of CDI electrode.

졸-겔법을 이용하여 주석산화물을 흑연입자 표면에 도포하고 $400-600^{\circ}C$에서 열처리하여 미세결정구조를 갖는 리튬이온 전지용 주석산화물 전극을 제조하였다. 도포 된 주석산화물의 양은 $2.25 wt\%\~11.1 wt\%$로 조절하여 실험한 결과 주석산 화물의 함량에 따라 방전용량이 증가하고 또한 초기의 비가역 용랑도 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 싸이클에 따른 주석 산화물 전극의 방전용량은 propylene carbonate(PC) 계 전해액에서도 초기 싸이클에서 350mAh/g 이상, 30 싸이클 후 에서는 300mAh/g을 나타낸 반면, 표면개질이 되지 않은 흑연전극의 경우에는 140mAh/g의 방전용량을 나타내었다. 충방전 속도를 C/5에서 C/2로 빠르게 했을 때 주석산화물 전극과 흑연전극의 방전용량은 초기 용량의 $92\%,\;77\%$로 각각 나타났다. 이러한 전극 특성의 향상은 주석산화물이 리튬이온과 반응하여 형성된 리튬 옥사이드$(Li_2O)$부동태 피막이 흑연전극의 탈리 현상을 막고 또한 환원된 주석이 흑연입자간의 전기전도를 원활하게 하여 전극의 전류분포를 향상시키기 때문인 것으로 해석되었다.

Carbon materials such as graphite and graphene exhibit high electrical conductivity. We examined the electrical conductivity of synthetic and natural graphene powders after the chemical reduction of synthetic and natural graphite oxide from synthetic and natural graphite. The trend of electrical conductivity of both graphene (synthetic and natural) was compared with different graphite materials (synthetic, natural, and expanded) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) under compression from 0.3 to 60 MPa. We found that synthetic graphene showed a marked increment in electrical conductivity compared to natural graphene. Interestingly, the total increment in electrical conductivity was greater for denser graphite; however, an opposite behavior was observed in nanocarbon materials such as graphene and CNTs, probably due to the differing layer arrangement of nanocarbon materials.

Hummers와 Offeman 방법을 이용하여 흑연으로부터 graphene oxide(GO)를 합성하였다. Hydrazine hydrate를 사용하여 GO를 환원시켜 reduced graphene oxide (RGO)를 합성하였으며, 말단에 amine이 치환된 유기화제를 사용하여 관능기화 그래핀을 합성하였다. 합성된 GO, RGO, 그리고 관능기화 그래핀의 구조를 확인하기 위하여 FTIR과 $^{13}C$ NMR를 이용하였다. 합성된 시료들의 안정성, 모폴로지 및 다양한 유기용매 내에서의 분산도를 각각 조사하였다. AFM 사진으로부터 GO와 RGO는 한층 또는 두층 두께의 그래핀으로 이루어졌으며, 관능기화 그래핀들의 평균두께는 약 2.26~3.30 nm임을 알았다. 관능기화 그래핀들의 열 안정성은 RGO보다 낮았다. 관능기화 그래핀들은 용액상태에서 흑연의 특성 피크가 관찰되지 않는 것으로 보아 클로로포름과 톨루엔에 좋은 분산성을 가지는 것으로 확인되었다.
