Nanocarbon Unit Structures (53)

Graphene oxide, an oxidized form of graphene, is characterized by the presence of oxygen-containing functional groups. This alteration enhances its dispersibility and solubility in water and various solvents. It finds applications in areas like water purification, owing to its excellent pollutant adsorption capacity, sensors for detecting gases and biomolecules, and as a reinforcing agent in polymer composites.
