Effective Synthesis of Highly Oxidized Graphene Oxide That Enables Wafer-scale Nanopatterning: Preformed Acidic Oxidizing Medium Approach

Abstract Demand for rapid and massive-scale exfoliation of bulky graphite remains high in graphene commercialization and property manipulation. We report a procedure utilizing “preformed acidic oxidizing medium (PAOM)” as a modified version of the Hummers’ method for fast and reliable synthesis of g...
