Abstract
Graphene oxide aroused an appreciable recognition owing to its distinctive electronic and optical characteristics, which could be exploited in diverse tremendous functionalities, such as electronic nanodevices. By applying the modified Hummers technique, graphene oxide (GO) nanoscrolls (NSs) were successfully synthesized, and their structural, morphological, electrical, and optical properties were inspected. Particularly, the morphology of GO NSs were analyzed by means of the transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Also, their structure were inspected by Raman spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques. Moreover, the occurrence of oxygen-holding the functional groups in the GO suspension was discerned by using the Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) and energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) techniques. The inspection of electrical characteristics of GO NSs were conducted by means of the Zeta potential and cyclic voltammetry measurements. Eventually, the UV-VIS and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyses highlighted the intriguing optical response of the GO NSs.
