International Journal of Computational Materials Science and Surface Engineering (IJCMSSE)

Forthcoming articles have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication but are pending final changes, are not yet published and may not appear here in their final order of publication until they are assigned to issues. Therefore, the content conforms to our standards but the presentation (e.g. typesetting and proof-reading) is not necessarily up to the Inderscience standard. Additionally, titles, authors, abstracts and keywords may change before publication. Articles will not be published until the final proofs are validated by their authors.

Forthcoming articles must be purchased for the purposes of research, teaching and private study only. These articles can be cited using the expression "in press". For example: Smith, J. (in press). Article Title. Journal Title.

  • Probing the formation of graphene oxide and reduced graphene oxide from annealed graphite: a multifaceted approach   Order a copy of this article
    by Nooralhuda Yearab, Sumaa Jafer, Amer Al-Nafiey, Halah Mohammed Azeez 
    Abstract: This research presents a simple, low-cost technique for synthesising graphene oxide (GO) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) through the annealing of graphite at 650 C for times of 2, 4, and 6 hours, without using hazardous strong acids and oxidants typically used in traditional methods. X-ray diffraction (XRD), FT-IR, and UV-Vis spectroscopy were used to monitor how the structure changed. Annealing at 2 and 4 hours produced GO, as shown by the XRD peak at 2 = 10.7, the FT-IR band at ~1020 cm1 for the CO, and the UVVis absorptions at ~268 and ~368 nm. Longer annealing (6 hours) produced rGO, which is shown by the loss of oxygen-related features, the decrease of the ~300 nm UVVis shoulder, and the strong peak at ~270 nm. The results show a time-dependent process (graphite GO rGO) with an intermediate interaction regime. This implies that altering the annealing duration can precisely control the oxidation state.
