Stable dispersions of reduced graphene oxide in ionic liquids

Ionic liquid-assisted one-step hydrothermal synthesis of TiO2-reduced graphene oxide composites

“…Ionic liquids (ILs) have been widely studied as a new kind of reaction medium owing to their unique properties such as extremely low volatility, wide liquid temperature range, good thermal stability, good dissolving ability, tailorable structures, high ionic conductivity, and wide electrochemical window [27][28][29][30]. Recently, ILs have been used as solvents, reactants, and templates for the synthesis of inorganic nanomaterials with novel morphologies and enhanced properties [31].…”

Use of Graphite Oxide and Graphene Oxide as Catalysts in the Synthesis of Dipyrromethane and Calix[4]pyrrole

“…This exfoliation can be performed in aqueous solution alone or in presence of surfactants [30], polymers [31,32], ionic liquids [33] and polar solvents [34,35]. Aqueous suspensions of graphene oxide have been used in the oxidation of alcohols and cis -stilbene and the hydration of various alkynes to the corresponding aldehydes, acids and ketones under mild conditions [36,37].…”

Transparent and Electrically Conductive Films from Chemically Derived Graphene

“…That can be achieved by adding surfactants, e.g. sodium 4-styrenesulfonate or ionic liquids (Zhang et al, 2010). The addition of base to deprotonate carboxylic acids of graphene oxide causes electrostatic repulsion and thus stabilization during reduction.…”
