Hydrolysable tannin as environmentally friendly reducer and stabilizer for graphene oxide

Experimental investigation on the use of reduced graphene oxide and its hybrid complexes in improving closed conduit turbulent forced convective heat transfer

“…In this context, tannic acid will be used both as reducing and stabilizing agents for RGO. This chemical is typically extracted from the wood of oak, walnut, and mahogany via hydrolysis process [66,67]. This water soluble compound has been known for its reducing capability while the abundance of phenolic moieties within its chemical structure serve as favorable candidate to stabilize carbon based materials via π-π interaction [68].…”

Graphene Oxide Reduction Activity of Seaweed Polymer Derivative:Efficient Bio-Based Alternative

“…The appearance of a new broad diffraction peak at ~26 with very less interlayer spacing of ~3.4 Å in rGO may be the result of the restacked graphene particles, and this also confirmed the reduction of GO by Ag-GA Est (refs 24, 32). In addition, the interlayer spacing of GO was significantly larger compared to that of rGO, revealing the elimination of oxygen functionality 33 .…”

Lithium-storage Properties of Gallic Acid-Reduced Graphene Oxide and Silicon-Graphene Composites

“…Gallic acid (GA), a natural organic acid with three adjacent hydroxyl groups located at its only benzene ring, has recently been shown to possess a considerable ability to reduce GO [10]. It has been observed that phenolic compounds including GA can function as a stabilizer to prevent RGO sheets from aggregation [10][11][12]. In the present study, the electrochemical properties of GO samples reduced by GA were investigated and compared with previously reported RGObased anode materials for LIBs.…”
