Single Layer Graphene Oxide

Overview

SLGO Graphene Oxide Active Material is a high-purity, single- to few-layer graphene oxide powder designed for advanced electrochemical, energy storage, and materials science research. Produced using controlled oxidation and exfoliation of graphite, this material exhibits a high density of oxygen-containing functional groups, enabling excellent dispersibility, surface reactivity, and electrochemical tunability.

Material Structure and Working Principle

Graphene oxide consists of atomically thin carbon sheets decorated with epoxy, hydroxyl, and carboxyl functional groups. These surface functionalities disrupt the pristine sp² carbon network, increasing interlayer spacing and enabling strong interaction with ions, polymers, metals, and electrolytes. In electrochemical systems, SLGO acts as a conductive scaffold, ion-transport facilitator, or surface modifier depending on reduction state and composite formulation.
