The secret to rGOs versatility lies in its imperfection!

Pristine graphene, a single layer of carbon atoms in a two-dimensional honeycomb lattice, exhibits exceptional properties like mechanical strength and high thermal and electrical conductivity, driving the graphene community's pursuit of its purest form. Reduced graphene oxide is less perfect, but it’s imperfection can give you valuable add-ons that aren’t present in pristine graphene.

Pristine graphene is essential for applications like sensors and electronics where:

• high electrical conductivity is crucial

• higher prices are acceptable

But why aim for perfect when you can have perfectly imperfect? Here’s how reduced Graphene Oxide (rGO) makes magic happen thanks to its surface-bound residual oxygen:

• Disperses easily in water and solvents, simplifying industrial integration

• Promising for molecular filters thanks to the holes in the carbon plane

• Excellent functionalization capabilities due to the residual oxygen atoms

• Highly effective as a flame retardant

rGO’s surface-bound residual oxygen enables dispersion in water and solvents, making it easier to integrate in industrial materials. Thanks to its imperfection, reduced Graphene Oxide effectively transfers graphene properties into the final products while providing valuable add-ons that aren’t present in pristine graphene.

So how can rGO make magic for your product? Let’s talk, and explore how we can unlock its potential with the power of rGO!
