Graphene, a “wonder material” is the world’s thinnest, strongest, and stiest material, as well as being an of other important allotropes. Graphene oxide (GO) is of great interest Graphene oxide (GO) is of great interest A large number of oxygen-containing functional groups have been introduced onto both sides of a single graphite sheet (namely, sheets in such an expanded structure are then easily pulled open using oxidant and the oxidizing time [22]. GO is produced by the oxidative Properties of GO Paulchamy Balaiah, Professor and Head, Departmentof ECE, Hindusthan Institute of Technology, Coimbatore, India, Tel: 0422-4393113; November 07 December January Paulchamy B, Arthi G, Lignesh BD (Synthesis of Graphene Oxide Nanomaterial.

One of the crucial bottlenecks for the application of graphene-based systems in materials science is their mass production. Meeting the requirements, graphene oxide (GO) has been considered widely as a prominent precursor and a starting material for the synthesis of this processable material.
