The Study of Functionalization Effect (poly aniline (PAni) and thiocarbohydrazide (TCH)) on Electrical Properties of Graphene Oxide Nanoparticles

Abstract

Graphene oxide which one of carbon nano structures: its single layer (SLGO) or a few layers (FLGO, no more than ten layers) of graphite, these sheets contain many functional groups, epoxy, carboxy, carbonyl and hydroxyl groups. Graphene oxide (FLGO), grapheme oxide-poly aniline and grapheme oxide-thiocarbohydrazide have been prepared and characterized by infra red spectra, X-ray diffraction and atomic force microscope. The addition of these materials by chemical reaction to the grapheme oxide nano particles have an important role in the electrical properties of this nanomaterial which is insulator, so graphene oxide was chosen in this research for studying the electrical properties of functionalized graphene oxide. Through LCR measurements we noticed increasing in the conductivity.
