Chemically reduced graphene oxide based aerogels - Insight on the surface and textural functionalities dependent on handling the synthesis factors
Abstract
Efficient adjusting of reduced graphene oxide aerogels properties requires information about experimental factor-aerogel property relationship. In this work, the reduced graphene oxide aerogels surface and textural functionalities in relation to precursor concentration, gelation time and hydrogel freezing temperature were studied in detail, with the use of dynamic adsorption method of gaseous organic probes and experimental design. The precursor concentration and the hydrogel freezing temperature have the strongest influence on textural properties - a negative correlation with apparent surface area was observed. The highest value of 229.36 m2 g−1 was obtained for samples synthesized at the lowest concentration of precursor (2 mg mL−1) and hydrogel freezing temperature (−196 °C). Low precursor concentration promote formation of more hydrophobic aerogels. All aerogels display tendencies for dispersive, dipole-type and electron donor interactions. Moreover, a repulsion of electron lone pairs was observed, as well as shape-based selectivity (originating from porosity and surface roughness) in gas-solid adsorption process. Analysis of the free surface energy revealed that the maximum value (193.21 mJ m−2) is obtained at 7.2 mg mL−1 precursor concentration, − 104 °C hydrogel freezing temperature and 23 h gelation time. Presented findings can translate directly into reduced graphene oxide aerogels tailored for specific applications such as adsorption or catalysis.
