Abstract
Recent advances in clean technologies have led to the development of environmentally sustainable methods for synthesizing reduced graphene oxide (rGO), a material crucial for several applications. This review explores various eco-friendly approaches, such as electrochemical, photochemical, photothermal, laser, and hydrothermal reduction, along with the innovative spun calcination method. Unlike conventional methods, which often use toxic chemicals and require high energy, these green methods reduce environmental impact while enhancing scalability and material properties. We particularly highlight the spun calcination method, which employs electrospinning, for its ability to produce high-purity rGO with minimal defects and waste. We also discuss the optimization of rGO synthesis through the use of different polymer precursors such as polyacrylonitrile (PAN) and polyvinyldene fluoride (PVDF). This review aims to guide future research toward more efficient, scalable, and sustainable rGO production, supporting broader advancements in green nanotechnology.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Inorganic and Organometallic Polymers and Materials [JIOP or JIOPM] is a comprehensive resource for reports on the latest theoretical and experimental research. This bimonthly journal encompasses a broad range of synthetic and natural substances which contain main group, transition, and inner transition elements. The publication includes fully peer-reviewed original papers and shorter communications, as well as topical review papers that address the synthesis, characterization, evaluation, and phenomena of inorganic and organometallic polymers, materials, and supramolecular systems.
