Abstract

Fluorescence quenching of rhodamine 6G by graphene oxide (GO) was investigated using steady-state fluorescence spectroscopy and ultrafast time-resolved absorption spectroscopy. The steady-state fluorescence spectra showed that rhodamine 6G fluorescence was effectively quenched by titrating the GO to the rhodamine 6G solutions. For lower GO concentrations, transient dynamic curves followed two-exponential decay parameters. For higher GO concentrations, the dynamic curves could not be fitted well, and three-exponential decay parameters were appropriate. The results indicated that there was a new transition process (electron transfer) in the exited rhodamine 6G and GO solution.
