Abstract

Graphene oxide was synthesized from kerosene soot, by adapting three different treatments. The properties of each sample were studied using X-ray diffraction, UV-visible spectroscopy, FTIR and impedance measurements. The XRD results showed that the structural parameters (layer spacing, number of layers) were in agreement with expected values, indicating the reliability of kerosene soot as a precursor for graphene. The grain size was found to be small (1 to 2 nm) confirming the nanostructure of kerosene soot. The UV-visible spectra revealed high band gap even while conductivity was appreciably high. Other characteristic measurements showed frequency-independent conductivity, low resistance and low capacitance. FTIR spectra of all the treated samples and the precursor show the differences brought about in functionalization, due to the different methods of treatment. These differences, however, does not appreciably affect parameters such as band gap, conductivity and dielectric loss in any drastic way.
