Nanocomposite-graphene based platform for heavy metal detection

Magister Scientiae - MSc (Dept. of Chemistry) === This study reports the synthesis of graphene by oxidizing graphite to graphite oxide using H2SO4 and KMnO4 and reducing graphene oxide to graphene by using NaBH4. Graphene was then characterized using FT-IR, TEM, AFM, XRD, Raman spectroscopy and soli...
