The low-temperature specific heat of thermal reduced graphene oxide

Abstract

Measurements of heat capacity at constant pressure of thermally reduced graphene oxide (trGO) and graphite oxide (GtO) were performed in the temperature range from 1.8 to 275 K by thermal relaxation method. Above 15 K, the specific heat values of trGO and GtO are close to each other within 20%. Below 10 K, the ratio of the specific heat of trGO to the specific heat of GtO increases with decreasing temperature and reaches 5 at 2 K. It was found that the temperature dependence of the specific heat of trGO is of a complex character. There are temperature ranges in which of the specific heat of trGO is close to either linear or T2.5.
