摘要
A simple density gradient ultracentrifuge separation method has been developed for sorting chemically modified graphene (CMG) by sheet size and surface chemistry in just a few minutes. By optimizing the parameters, including the density gradient and centrifugation time, CMG sheets with specific size ranges and optical properties can be targeted selectively. UV vis absorbance and photoluminescence spectra revealed the properties of separated CMG samples are highly dependent on their sheet size and degree of oxidation. A possible mechanism for the separation is discussed.
