The Applications of Graphene Oxide Powder


Graphene was reported firstly in the year 2004 and was prepared with the use of mechanical exfoliate by the graphite. Due to its ratio of surface area and weight, it is used to store energy as it can increase the energy per volume. It can be used in super capacitors, conductive epoxies, conductive inks, super-batteries. 

It is one of the most well approved 2D materials available and the reason behind it is a broad range of areas it is applicable in. It comes with a discrete benefit when compared to several other 2d materials because it is dispersed easily within the solution. This way it is allowed to process at higher concentrations and several applications have been opened up. Here follows the list of 7 of it:

  1. IN ELECTRODE MATERIAL
Graphene Oxide Powder has a higher surface area. This is the reason why it is made ideal to be used for electrode material for batteries, solar cells, and capacitors.

2.      THE ELECTRONICS
Graphene Oxide has its usage in electronics such as field-effect devices, electrical sensors, transparent conductors, and flexible electronic materials.

3.      IN THE WATER PURIFICATION
Graphene oxide membranes consist of high water permeability along with stability. This is how it is a promising material for the application of water treatment. 

4.      IT IS USED IN OPTICS
Talking of its application in optics, its properties have directed to future applications in the areas of fluorescence quenching, optical detecting/ sensing, nonlinear optical materials, and surface-improved Raman scattering.

5.      IT IS AN ENHANCER
Graphene oxide could be easily united with other composite materials enhance to improve their traits. These characteristics include elasticity, tensile strength, and conductive. 

6.      THE BIO APPLICATIONS
Bio applications including optical biosensors, electrochemical biosensors. Here graphene oxide is employed to detect enzymes, DNA, and other biomolecules with high sensitivity and selectivity. It may be used to detect disease with its fluorescent property.

7.      OTHER APPLICATIONS
Graphene Oxide is also applicable in optoelectronics, which consists of light-emitting devices, photovoltaic devices. The other uses are biofunctionalization, air pollutant removal, and supercapacitors.

THE FINAL WORDS
Whether it is bio applications or water purifications, Graphene Oxide has wide usage in various fields. Graphene Oxide Powder is composed of dispersible graphene sheets that have a low content of oxygen and higher surface area. It is available to qualify all of the specific requirements and also in bulk quantities as per the need.

About Silver Nanowires and Its Applications

  Silver Nanowires are nanomaterials with high electrical conductivity, resistance to oxidation, and great optical & antibacterial properties. Silver Nanowires also performs great in transparent conducting electrodes for touchscreens, solar cells, flexible displays, sensors, light-emitting diodes, etc. These nanowires can be included in many products like textiles, antibacterial bandages, and EMI shielding. Additionally, silver nanowires have been great as conductive fillers for combined applications. Now, it is essential that the minimum amount of silver is used for establishing the electrical connection in the final matrix, also known as the percolation threshold. Due to its high aspect ratio, silver nanowires can easily reach percolation at concentrations of less than 1%. With great electrical, optical, and thermal properties, silver nanowires have great possibilities for developing advanced technology applications. They are available in powder and dispersion form. The S...
