Graphene Oxide

What is Graphene Oxide?

Graphene oxide (GO) is a single-layer sheet of carbon atoms decorated with oxygen-containing groups such as hydroxyl, epoxy, and carboxyl. These groups make it readily dispersible in water and other solvents, and give it a chemically active surface that can be tailored for specific applications. This versatility is a key reason graphene oxide is leading the graphene industry, bridging easy processing with the exceptional properties of graphene. It can also be chemically or thermally reduced to produce reduced graphene oxide (rGO), restoring much of graphene's conductivity.

Graphene Oxide vs Reduced Graphene Oxide

The main difference lies in oxygen content and conductivity. Graphene oxide is highly oxidized, electrically insulating, and easy to disperse, while reduced graphene oxide has fewer oxygen groups and much higher electrical conductivity. Choosing between them depends on your application, and our guide on the difference between GO and rGO explains how to select the right material for your process.

Properties of Graphene Oxide

• Excellent dispersibility in water and polar solvents
• Large surface area with abundant reactive oxygen groups
• Tunable chemistry for functionalization and surface modification
• Electrically insulating in oxidized form, conductive after reduction
• Strong mechanical properties for composite reinforcement
• Biocompatible and suitable for biomedical research

Applications of Graphene Oxide

Graphene oxide serves a broad range of advanced applications, from energy storage and conductive films to composites, membranes, and coatings. Its reactive surface makes it highly effective in heavy metal sensing and water treatment, while its film-forming ability supports flexible electronics and next-generation actuators and transducers. For ready-to-use formulations, GO is also available as stable graphene dispersions for coating and printing processes. For advanced functionalized performance, Nanografi also offers TEPA-functionalized reduced graphene oxide (rGO-TEPA), engineered for enhanced reactivity in CO2 capture, composites, and biomedical uses.
