Long‐term evolution of the chemical and structural stability of graphene oxide after storage as solid and as aqueous dispersion

Abstract Nanomaterials are intended for industrial applications, for that purpose scalability needs to be addressed, therefore an important issue comes to the picture: storage. Graphene oxide (GO) is of great interest for practical applications in optoelectronics, chemical sensors, supercapacitor el...
