“…2b), the sharp peaks at 2 θ = 32.1° and 22.4° are due to the π–π stacking of the aromatic conjugated system which indicates the strong binding and tight packing of the layers of the sheet. 10,11 b ,20,24 The presence of oxygen atoms within the layers of the graphitic sheet maintains the planar structure through hydrogen bonding and π–π stacking. After the incorporation of Pd NPs, the intensity of the peaks at 2 θ = 32.1° and 22.4° decreased dramatically which indicates the disturbance in the rigid packing of layers of the graphitic sheet.…”
