▎ 摘  要

Graphene oxide as a radon barrier in living environments was introduced by intercalating the polymer resin-coated layer inside a multilayer membrane with an area of 1 x 10 m and a thickness of 2.5 mm, prepared by the roll-to-roll method. A 5 mu m-thick graphene oxide polymer resin (GOPR) layer was coated on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film (100 mu m) between the two styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS)-modified bitumen asphalt layers fitted for construction sites. The inserted graphene oxide materials were characterized by means of infrared, Raman, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Dispersion-corrected density functional theory (DFT) calculations suggested weaker binding energies on the oxide surfaces and higher penetration energy barriers of graphene nanopores for radon (Rn-222) than in the cases of the atmospheric gas molecules Ar, H2O, CO2, H-2, O-2, and N-2. Theoretical calculations of the graphene nanopores supported the higher barrier energies of Rn-222 than most ambient gases. The roll-to-roll prepared graphene materials exhibited good barrier properties for Rn-222 as well as for the ambient gases. The purpose of our experimental and theoretical study is to provide a better understanding of using graphene-based materials to reduce the risk of carcinogenic radon gas in construction sites and residential buildings for practical applications.
