New findings on the structure of graphite oxides in alcohols

(Phys.org)—The structure of graphite oxide surprisingly expands when cooled in methanol or ethanol. Also, graphite oxide selectively absorbs methanol from water-methanol mixtures. Two new studies by physicists at Umeå University in Sweden, published in ACS Nano and J. Phys. Chem. C, respectively, provide knowledge on new properties of oxidized graphite and graphene.
