"Non-Toxic Method for High-Quality Graphene Oxide Production Unveiled by Research Team"

Researchers from Umeå University have developed a new non-toxic method for producing high-quality graphene oxide, which has significantly fewer defects compared to materials produced by the most common method. The new method combines the acid from the Hummers method and the oxidant from the Brodie method, allowing for the production of graphene oxide with minimal defects while using a simple synthesis procedure. This breakthrough could have significant implications for various applications, including the production of graphene and the development of gas protection coatings, semi-permeable membranes, and sensors.
