Abstract:Slow-release fertilizer was developed by encapsulating NPK compound pellets with graphene oxide (GO) sheets employing a waterless synthesis technique. As-prepared GO sheets were characterized by XRD, Raman, XPS, FTIR, SEM, and EDS. The XRD patterns of the GO sheets indicate that the peak for the GO is observed at 2θ = 9.3°, and the peak (002) for graphite vanished. Moreover, a higher intensity ratio of the Raman ID/IG of the GO sheets than that of pristine graphite confirms the oxidation of the graphite. The F… Show more
