- *Abstract
-
This technology employs photoreduction of graphene oxide by UV-generated ketyl radicals to graphene. The photoreduction is versatile and can be carried out in solution, solid-state, and even in polymer composites. Reduction of graphene oxide can also take place in various polymer matrixes. Potential uses include graphene-supported metal nanoparticles and photoreduction on polymer composite films. For example, metal nanoparticles and reduced graphene oxide are generated in situ, simultaneously. In particular, a photoinitiator that serves as a ketyl radical generator that is activated by UV radiation simultaneously reduces the metal nanoparticle precursor and graphene oxide to a metal nanoparticle and graphene. These materials will find numerous applications in catalysis, sensing/sensors, electronics, optics, and energy-related uses.
