A reaction that puzzled scientists for 50 years has now been explained by researchers at Ume University. Rapid structural snapshots captured how graphite transforms into graphite oxide during ...

image: Natural graphite, used as the precursor for graphene oxide production, is a highly ordered crystalline inorganic material, which is believed to be formed by decay of organic matter. It is ...

Currently, a number of techniques are used to produce graphene and these include epitaxial growth, chemical vapour deposition (CVD), and thermal or mechanical exfoliation. Large scale production of ...

WHAT ARE THE KEYS to designing a material that rivets researchers' attention? Rare and precious elements? Previously unknown bonding configurations? How about fascinating molecular and geometric ...

A paper by Kazan Federal University appeared in early access in Carbon. Another new finding, registered by Ksenia Shukhina for the first time, was the imaginary reversibility of the C-O bond formation ...
