Abstract

Herein, we report the influence of γ-ray irradiation process on the physicochemical properties of partially reduced graphene oxide (PRGO) thin films. It is found that γ-ray irradiation at 25KGy alters the surface, chemical environment, and wettability properties of PRGO via inducing edge sites and o...

Abstract: Herein, we report the influence of γ-ray irradiation process on the physicochemical properties of partially reduced graphene oxide (PRGO) thin films. It is found that γ-ray irradiation at 25KGy alters the surface, chemical environment, and wettability properties of PRGO via inducing edge sites and oxygen moieties, resulting in increased water oxidation performance.
