Hidden Second Oxidation Step of Hummers Method
Open accessAbstract
Abstract Hummers method has been used for 50 years to prepare graphene oxide (GO) by oxidizing graphite using Mn2O7. In this work, a new angle on Hummers method is described. The oxidation procedure before the addition of water, which has been respected as the main oxidation step of Hummers method, is named step I oxidation, and the widely ignored further oxidation step after the addition of water is named step II oxidation. The chemical and structural evolutions during step II oxidation was demonstrated for the first time using various techniques including atomic force microscopy (AFM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), ultraviolet–visible light (UV–vis) spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and zeta-potentiometry. Step II oxidation influences the size of GO, defects within the layers, and functional groups on the surface, which affect the thermal stability of GO and the properties of resultant thermally reduced GO. This work provides new chemical insights into GO and guidelines for preparation of tailor-fitted GO.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
