Abstract

This study investigated the preparation of graphene oxide from mildly oxidized graphite through ultrasonic exfoliation. Both the original and produced materials were analyzed by ultraviolet–visible spectrophotometer, X-ray diffraction and atomic force microscopy. The results indicated that the exfoliation yield of graphene oxide was proportional to the input ultrasonic energy. In addition, a two-stage exfoliation phenomenon was observed in the exfoliation of mildly oxidized graphite with both ultrasonic homogenizer and cleaner. It also was found that increasing the content of [O] in a C–H2SO4–[O] reaction system was the most simple and direct method to increase the oxidation degree of graphite oxide.
