“…GO is a form of graphene having various oxygen-containing functional groups, induces stable dispersion in many polar and nonpolar substances, including water, and is thus widely used in many industrial applications for benefits different from those of native graphene. − Because of the presence of oxygen-containing functional groups, graphene oxide has good thermal, electrical, and mechanical properties − due to its 2D sp 2 carbon honeycomb structure. It is well reported in the literature that the functional groups can be removed to obtain stable graphene, which is called reduced graphene oxide (often abbreviated to rGO). , Few studies have documented the composite of a graphene oxide hybrid that can be used as a bifunctional catalyst for hydrogen evolution and hydrogen storage, asymmetric supercapacitors, , electrochemical supercapacitors, self-healing polymer composites, as anode material for lithium-ion batteries, EMI shielding, − and in graphene and graphene oxide-based membranes for gas separation. , Also, graphene nanofillers were synthesized and incorporated into starch to improve its mechanical properties and long-term stability . The present report demonstrates SF as a biomaterial that can be used to reduce GO to rGO and fabricate the SF–rGO bionanocomposite.…”
