▎ 摘  要

This study reports on the effect of graphene oxide (GO) on the hydration of Portland cement (PC) and industrial clinker. GO accelerates PC hydration, whereas it temporarily retards that of clinker. This difference reflects a twofold behaviour of GO in cement pastes. Retardation is due to the interaction of GO with the surface of hydrating grains, while acceleration results from a seeding effect. Gypsum causes this difference. GO is shown to have little effect on the strength of hardened pastes, and this merely relates to the change of hydration degree, as opposed to reinforcing effect formerly assumed. Overall, GO is not particularly active as a nucleation surface, as it aggregates and behaves in a similar way to inert fillers (e.g. quartz). Polycarboxylate-ether copolymer could make GO an active seed in cement pastes, as it prevents GO from aggregating. Nevertheless, this was found to occur only in alite pastes but not PC pastes.
