An innovative green approach to the production of bio-sourced and nano-sized graphene oxide (GO)-like carbon flakes

In this study, we developed a green and facile top–down approach for the production of nano-sized graphene oxide (GO) like flakes from natural sources by sonochemistry. The long carbon flakes produced by the pyrolysis of waste onion sheathing were then converted into uniform nano-sized GO-like flake...
