Abstract

The production of in-situ chlorinated graphene oxide was accomplished in a single step without the use of hazardous reagent conditions. This eco-friendly method of producing chlorinated graphene oxide was created by combining the potent oxidizer H2SO5 (Piranha) in place of H2SO4 with NaClO4 and m-CPBA. These techniques provide the major advantage of simultaneously intercalating chlorine and oxygen onto the surface of graphite by a one-step synthesis. The oxygen and chloride functionality were confirmed by spectral techniques (P-XRD, HR-TEM, XPS, Raman Spectra, FT-IR, and TGA analysis). This is a one-pot synthesis method for generating Cl-GO materials for use in many industries. It is cost-effective, eco-friendly, simple and high scalable. The focus of our present study is on determining the way Cl-GOperforms in supercapacitor applications.
