Tuning Properties of Partially Reduced Graphene Oxide Fibers upon Calcium Doping

The arrangement of two-dimensional graphene oxide sheets has been shown to influence physico-chemical properties of the final bulk structures. In particular, various graphene oxide microfibers remain of high interest in electronic applications due to their wire-like thin shapes and the ease of hydrothermal fabrication. In this research, we induced the internal ordering of graphene oxide flakes during typical hydrothermal fabrication via doping with Calcium ions (~6 wt.%) from the capillaries. The Ca2+ ions allowed for better graphene oxide flake connections formation during the hydrogelation and further modified the magnetic and electric properties of structures compared to previously studied aerogels. Moreover, we observed the unique pseudo-porous fiber structure and flakes connections perpendicular to the long fiber axis. Pulsed electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and conductivity measurements confirmed the denser flake ordering compared to previously studied aerogels. These studies ultimately suggest that doping graphene oxide with Ca2+ (or other) ions during hydrothermal methods could be used to better control the internal architecture and thus tune the properties of the formed structures.
