Abstract:

Hydrophilic graphene nanosheets were rapidly synthesized by reacting graphene oxide nanosheets with poly(sodium 4-styrene sulfonate) and simultaneously reducing by hydrazine hydrate under hydrothermal conditions. Organophilic graphene nanosheets were prepared by reacting with octadecylamine and reduction by hydroquinone through a reflux process. Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy measurements confirmed the attachment of organic molecules to the graphene nanosheets to achieve hydrophilic and organophilic affinity. X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy analysis indicated that the crystal structure of the graphene nanosheets was maintained intact after chemical functionalisation. © 2009 Elsevier Ltd.
