How can you identify graphene oxide (GO) from FTIR?
This page summarizes the recurring FTIR evidence reported for graphene oxide (GO), including the most frequent peaks, supporting functional groups, and literature-backed interpretation patterns. It is a structured evidence page, not a claim of automatic single-spectrum certainty.
Backed by 14 cited sources
Quick answer
graphene oxide (GO) is usually reported with a recurring pattern of peaks and functional-group evidence. The most useful approach is to cross-check at least two characteristic peaks before treating it as a match, then verify whether the full spectrum still fits the same material family.
Peak interpretation
Possible materials / groups
| Kumpulan berfungsi | Bukti |
|---|---|
| C-O single bond | 19 |
| Methoxy (OCH3) | 15 |
| Methacrylate | 15 |
| Acetate | 15 |
| Hydroxyl (O-H) | 13 |
| Carboxyl (COOH) | 10 |
| Alkyl C-H | 9 |
| Oxygen heterocycle | 6 |
Spectrum logic
The logic here is evidence aggregation: repeated literature mentions of graphene oxide (GO), repeated peak positions, and repeated functional-group associations. A strong material hypothesis should still be supported by multiple peaks that agree with each other, not by one headline band alone.
Real-world usage
This page is designed for polymer identification, incoming-material QC, unknown plastic analysis, recycled-content review, and literature-backed interpretation of reference spectra.
Common mistakes
- Calling a material match too early because one famous peak is present.
- Ignoring sample prep, fillers, oxidation, water, or additives that can change the apparent pattern.
- Using literature evidence without checking whether your own sampling mode and spectrum quality are comparable.
Verification advice
Use DSC, GC-MS, or TGA to validate the material hypothesis when the peak pattern is ambiguous or mixed.
