Graphene Oxide as a Basis for Molecular Design

Abstract

The possibility of using a reduced form of graphene oxide (RGO) and unreduced form of graphene oxide (GO) as a potential basis to be used for “designing” supramolecular structures was illustrated by the example of three different types of particles. As it can form bonds of various nature, GO may be also used (being in the reduced form) as an electrically conducting component of a composite and (remaining in the non-conducting oxidized form) as an accumulator of any particles. The electrochemical behavior of the obtained composites was studied.
