Abstract

Abstract:

Graphene oxide (GO) and reduced graphene oxide (RGO) were prepared by modified Hummers method and hydrothermal reduction, respectively. They were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy (UV-Vis), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and photoluminescence emission and excitation spectroscopy(PL, PLE). PL spectra indicate that the broad near-infrared(NIR) photoluminescence ranging from 600 to 800 nm can be acquired from graphene oxide under excitation of visible light. By comparing PL spectra from GO with that from RGO, and through the analysis of their UV-Vis absorption and FTIR spectra, the oxygen related groups, such as C=O and COOH, are found to be responsible for the NIR PL from GO. NIR fluorescence is favorable for bio-imaging because of its excellent penetrating ability and little damage to tissues. This indictates that GO has great potential applications in bio-imaging.

Key words: graphene oxide, reduced graphene oxide, oxygen related groups, near-infrared fluorescence
