L-Ascorbic Acid Treatment of Electrochemical Graphene Nanosheets: Reduction Optimization and Application for De-Icing, Water Uptake Prevention, and Corrosion Resistance.

ABSTRACT: The aeronautical industry demands facile lightweight and low-cost solutions to address climate crisis challenges. Graphene can be a valid candidate to tackle these functionalities, although its upscalability remains difficult to achieve. Consequently, graphene-related materials (GRM) are gathering massive attention as top-down graphite exfoliation processes at the industrial scale are feasible and often employed. In this work, environmentally friendly produced partially oxidized graphene nanosheets (POGNs) reduced by green solvents such as l-Ascorbic Acid to rGNs are proposed to deliver functional coatings based on a glass fiber composite or coated Al2024 T3 for strategic R&D questions in the aeronautical industry, i.e., low energy production, de-icing, and water uptake.
