The Janus Structure of Graphene Oxide and Its Large-Size Conductive Film Strip Pattern.

In this paper, the oxidation-exfoliation process of graphite is studied experimentally by the mixed-solvent method, the oxidation-exfoliation process of graphite is simulated theoretically, and it is found that Graphene Oxide (GO) is a Janus structure with inconsistent oxidation on both surfaces; hydrophilic on one side and hydrophobic on the other side. This layer structure and layer spacing are due to the inconsistent oxidation on both sides which changes with the polarity of different solvent mixtures. We used a two-phase system of benzyl alcohol and water, as well as controlling the polarity of the surface of the substrate, to achieve (using a mixed solution of GO which has a selectivity more inclined to the oil phase when the aqueous phase is present) the preparation of reduced graphene oxide patterns. We also used a complex solution of hydrogen iodide and a sodium-iodide complex solution for secondary reduction to enhance its conductivity to 8653 S/m.
