▎ 摘　　要

In this study, biological deoxygenation of graphene oxide (GO) using anEclipta prostrataphytoextract was performed via the infusion method. The presence of oxide groups on the surface of graphene and removal of oxides groups by reduction were characterized through morphological and structural analyses. Field emission scanning electron microscopy images revealed that the synthesized GO and rGO were smooth and morphologically sound. Transmission electron microscopy images showed rGO developing lattice fringes with smooth edges and transparent sheets. Atomic force microscopy images showed an increase in the surface roughness of graphite oxide (14.29 nm) compared with that of graphite (1.784 nm) due to the presence of oxide groups after oxidation, and the restoration of surface roughness to 2.051 nm upon reduction. Energy dispersive X-ray analysis indicated a difference in the carbon/oxygen ratio between GO (1.90) and rGO (2.70). Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy spectrum revealed peak stretches at 1029, 1388, 1578, and 1630 cm(-1)for GO, and a decrease in the peak intensity after reduction that confirmed the removal of oxide groups. X-ray photoelectron microscopy also showed a decrease in the intensity of oxygen peak after reduction. In addition, thermogravimetric analysis suggested that rGO was less thermally stable than graphite, graphite oxide, and GO, with rGO decomposing after heating at temperatures ranging from room temperature to 600 degrees C.
