Reduced Graphene Oxide Support Film

Reduced Graphene Oxide Support Film

Graphene has become the first two-dimensional material that can exist stably in nature since Novoselov et al. successfully separated it from graphite by mechanical stripping in 2004. According to the defects and groups generated on the surface of graphene during the preparation process, graphene can be functionalized and modified to change certain properties and obtain graphene derivatives. Functionalized graphene and its derivatives have better water solubility and biocompatibility. Besides, the main difference between Graphene Oxide (GO) and Reduced Graphene Oxide (RGO) lies in the type and distribution of functional groups in their carbon lattices. It is worth noting that graphene oxide is not only an important precursor of reduced graphene oxide, but also has been shown to have potential as a grid for Cryo-electron microscopy structural reconstruction.

 

Our cryo-electron microscopy is based on the Reduced Graphene Oxide Support Film technology, which not only overcomes the bottleneck of cryo-electron microscopy sample preparation, but also improves the reproducibility and efficiency of sample preparation.
