Abstract

In this work, solvent effects on graphene oxide (GO) in liquid water were analyzed in terms of hydrogen bonds and electronic properties. The sequential Monte Carlo/quantum mechanics simulation was used to generate the molecular structures of the GO sheet structure in aqueous solution. It was observed a large increase of approximately 130$$\%$$ in the dipole moments of the GO sheets in water solvent and hydrogen bonding statistics were obtained. In addition, INDO/CIS quantum mechanics calculations were performed in the super-molecular generated structures in order to obtain the ultraviolet–visible spectra for GO in liquid water. These theoretical results were supported by our experimental data.
