Graphite oxide powder

Overview
Graphite oxide is a compound composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in varying molar ratios, synthesized through the treatment of graphite with strong oxidizing agents. While maintaining graphite’s layered structure, it exhibits expanded interlayer spacing and increased chemical complexity due to the introduction of oxygen-containing functional groups. This material serves as an important precursor for the preparation of graphene and graphene oxide via ultrasonic exfoliation or chemical reduction methods.
