Effect of graphene oxide size and structure on synthesis and optoelectronic properties of hybrid graphene oxide‐poly(3‐hexylthiophene) nanocomposites

Abstract: Conjugated polymer‐layered filler nanocomposites have received extensive interest as multifunctional materials in various futuristic applications. In this study, the effect of graphene oxide (GO) particle size on the synthesis, optical, and electrochemical properties of in situ prepared graphene oxide (GO)‐poly(3‐hexylthiophene) (P3HT) nanocomposites have been studied. The intercalation of GO with P3HT is inferred from shifting and broadening of the characteristic D‐ and G‐bands of GO in Raman spectra and also… Show more

“…So far, most studies have focused on the functionalization of GO to improve dispersion of GO and enhance interfacial strength during in situ polymerization process. However, it is worth noting that the characteristic nature of nanofillers also play an important role in determining the properties of composites . To our knowledge, no study has been conducted to study the relations between GO sheet size and thermal properties of polymer composites prepared via in situ polymerization up to now.…”

“…5 As the aforementioned oxidation degree is carefully taken into consideration in a lateral size reduction process, allows further ne tuning when GO is chemically reduced, i.e., rGO nal surface chemistry and characteristics through simple chemical techniques. 6,7 When both parameters are accurately controlled, is possible to use GO not only as graphene precursor, but also in different applications like biomedicine, 11,18,23,27 catalysis, 22 polymer nanocomposites, 28,29 adsorption, 24 electronics, 25 organic solar cells, 30,31 and specially in energy storage such as supercapacitors, where if the precise C/O ratio and size can be controlled, the small lateral size GO could be used in hierarchical structures. [32][33][34] Based on that, is crucial to control both parameters, because if a lateral size reduction leads into a C/O ratio modication on GO, it will affect the electronic properties, its solubility and further chemical functionalisation.…”

“…Based on research conducted all over the world, it can be stated that materials like ZnO [ 3 ], TiO 2 [ 4 ] and WO 3 [ 5 ] can serve as excellent sensing layers. Also hybrid materials of conductive polymers with two-dimensional nanofilters ought to be taken into account (e.g., graphene oxide-poly (3-hexylthiophene) nanocomposites) [ 6 ]. It is to be stressed that the use of carbon materials just for decorating for instance with palladium [ 7 , 8 ] or for use in hybrids (and also in pristine form) are becoming more and more interesting, not only in the sensor domain The range of potential applications of carbon structures is rather wide and information provided in the respective literature indicates that carbon nanomaterials may be potentially used, among others, as selective molecular membranes [ 9 ].…”
