Development and Up-Scaling of Electrochemical Production and Mild Thermal Reduction of Graphene Oxide.

ABSTRACT: To reduce the global emissions of CO2, the aviation industry largely relies on new light weight materials, which require multifunctional coatings. Graphene and its derivatives are particularly promising for combining light weight applications with functional coatings. Although they have proven to have outstanding properties, graphene and its precursor graphene oxide (GO) remain far from application at the industrial scale since a comprehensive protocol for mass production is still lacking. In this work, we develop and systematically describe a sustainable up-scaling process for the production of GO based on a three-step electrochemical exfoliation method. Surface characterization techniques (XRD, XPS and Raman) allow the understanding of the fast exfoliation rates obtained, and of high con
