abstract

• This work shows the synthesis of graphene oxide (GO) by a fast and efficient method, based on the use of acetone as solvent to accelerate the washing and drying process. Also, the structural and morphological evolution of graphene oxide (gO) to GO from sonication at different times (2–8 h) is shown. SEM and AFM analysis revealed the formation of GO thin sheets. XRD analysis showed a shift of the (001) plane from 11.3° to 10.6° (2θ). This change confirmed the evolution from gO to GO. FTIR showed the presence of characteristic functional groups. Raman analysis showed an increase in the ID/IG ratio and a decrease in the crystallite size in the plane from 19 to 13 nm with increasing sonication time. Graphical abstract: (Figure presented.)
