| Sumario: | Abstract The construction of graphene-based microfibers with reinforced mechanical and electrical properties has been the subject of numerous researches in recent years. However, the fabrication of graphene-based fibers with remarkable optical features still remains a challenge and has not been addressed so far. This paper aims to report a series of flexible self-assembled fibers, synthesized through a few-minute sonication of thermally oxidized graphene oxide nanosheets, so-called Nanoporous Over-Oxidized Graphene (NOG), in an acidic medium. These free-standing glassy fibers were classified into four distinct morphological structures and displayed a collection of intriguing optical properties comprising high transparency, strong birefringence, fixed body colorations (e.g. colorless, blue, green, and red), tunable interference marginal colorations, UV–visible-near IR fluorescence, and upconversion emissions. Moreover, they exhibited high chemical stability in strongly acidic, basic, and oxidizing media. The foregoing notable attributes introduce the NOG fiber as a promising candidate both for the construction of graphene-based photoluminescent textiles and the development of a wide variety of optical applications. |
