Abstract

Highly oxidative debris (OD) was obtained by aqueous ammonia wash of as-prepared graphene oxide (GO) which composed of OD and lightly oxidative GO sheets. The magnetic properties of OD and GO were studied. The results showed that OD has a low magnetization of 0.16 emu/g, and the magnetization of GO can be increased from 0.38 to 0.42 emu/g by discarding low-magnetization OD. Thus, this study provided a reliable method to increase the magnetization of GO. Hydroxyl groups were proposed to be the magnetic source.
