“…In the FT-IR spectra of GO (Figure 7a), the characteristic absorption peaks at around 1050, 1400, 1620 30 and 1720 cm -1 can be ascribed to the stretching vibration of C-O, O-H deformation, the adsorbed H 2 O deformation, and C=O in carboxylic acid moieties, respectively. 47 However, in the FT-IR spectra of rGO/Cu-2-1 (Figure 7b), rGO/Ni-3-1 ( Figure 7c) and rGO/Co-3-1 (Figure 7d) obtained by the thermal reduction 35 method, almost no characteristic absorption peaks for C-O, C=O and O-H groups were observed, demonstrating that GO was thermally reduced.…”
