“…[1,2] Graphite has been used for the preparation of GO, which in turn is widely used as a precursor for the synthesis of reduced GO. [3] Due to its unique electronic, thermal, and mechanical properties, GO has been used in different applications such as developing sensors, [4] medical applications, [5,6] ultrafast lasers, [7,8] etc. GO consists of intact graphitic regions interspersed with sp 3 -hybridized carbons containing carboxyl, hydroxyl, and epoxide functional groups on the edge, top, and bottom surface of each sheet and sp 2 -hybridized carbons on the aromatic network (Fig.…”
