NOVELTY - Malleable dough comprises graphene oxide sheets dispersed in water, where the concentration of graphene oxide sheets is 20-60 wt.% based on the total weight of the graphene oxide sheets and the water USE - The dough is useful in glassy graphene oxide solid and glassy graphene solid (all claimed). ADVANTAGE - The dough: is free of polymers, polymer precursors, and chemicals that act to increase the dispersibility of the graphene oxide sheets in water; has a stiffness of 0.1-1 MPa; provides glassy graphene oxide solid that has an edge hardness, as measured by nanoindentation, that differs from a top hardness, as measured by nanoindentation, by not greater than 15%; provides glassy graphene solid that has a Vickers hardness of at least 30 HV300; has high graphene oxide or reduced graphene oxide contents; and lacks long-range lamellar stacking order.
