The optimisation of chromatographic conditions for the determination of acceptor-donor properties of graphene oxide and reduced graphene oxide

Abstract

The oxidised and reduced graphene samples (having different surface functionalities) were studied by inverse gas chromatography to characterise their acceptor-donor properties. The DN values denoting the donor number in the Gutmann scale and the AN* values denoting the acceptor number in the Riddle-Fowkes scale have been chosen in the estimation of the electron-acceptor parameter KA and electron-donor parameter KD values.
