In this work we start with the Hummers technique in order to obtain Graphite
Oxide, once that we obtained a black paste, then we perform a heat treatment
using a conventional microwave, the result is a black dust called Reduced
Graphene Oxide (RGO), we realize diferents probes of caracterization like as,
SEM, AFM anf FTIR, our results are compatible with those reported in the
literature. RGO is perhaps the least known of the carbon family, however its has
a wide variety of properties due it has hydroxyl and carboxyl functional groups,
making it a stable material for example in water or etanol, so this solution allows
the addition of other particles, for example TiO2, at diferent concentrations, the
results shows that small spheres of TiO2 have been embedded in the reduced
graphene oxide in a molecular level, in the same way we add micro spheres of
SiO2 over RGO, a SEM analysis shows that the micro spheres of SiO2 have been
embedded in GOR, the following is to study this mixture RGO/TiO2 and
RGO/SiO2 with potencial aplications in field of healthcare, cosmetics, optics and
electronics.
Keywords: RGO, SiO2, TiO2
