Abstract
The charge migration on the surface of single layer graphene oxide (GO) sheets was investigated by scanning polarization force microscopy. Electrostatic charges were observed to transfer over 1 μm across the insulating single layer GO sheets surface with the help of water molecules condensed from the environment. Humidity-dependent charge migration on GO sheets was visualized on the nanometer scale and the migration velocity was plotted at a relative humidity range of 10%–40%. When the relative humidity reached 50% or higher, water film would form on the whole GO sheet surface, which made the GO sheet conductive to the electrostatic charges.
