▎ 摘 要
Graphene oxide (GO) has attracted much attention as a derivative of graphene. In addition, it appears to have many unique physicochemical properties and has been investigated widely in many areas. Herein, we prepare GOs using flake graphite (FG), expandable graphite (EG) and microcrystalline graphite (MG) as graphite precursors by the modified Hummers method. According to the X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Raman spectroscopy, we characterize the component, the functional group, the chemical state of the element and the structural disorder of the obtained GOs to reveal their oxidation degree. Besides, we evaluate the hydrophilicity of the obtained GOs with the water contact angle, and observe their microstructures by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). We find that the GO prepared with EG has a higher-degree oxidation and better hydrophilicity, and it will be exfoliated easily and forms a monolayer or quasi-monolayer structure. Finally, based on the structural characteristic of graphite precursor, we build the intercalation and oxidation model to illuminate the phenomenon.
