Reduction Of Graphene Oxide Nanosheets By Natural Beta Carotene And Its Potential Use As Supercapacitor Electrode

A green, non-toxic and eco-friendly approach for the reduction of graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets using natural b-carotene is reported. The FTIR spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analyses reveal the oxygen scavenging property of b-carotene successfully removes oxygen functionalities on GO nanosheets...
