Implication

Experimental study demonstrates that solution pH, electrolytes, and aluminum oxide dissolution regulate graphene oxide aggregation, highlighting nanomaterial transport in transition zones.

Key Points

To systematically evaluate the aggregation and deposition dynamics of graphene oxide in the presence of aluminum oxide across diverse aqueous chemistries.
Conducted systematic batch experiments examining graphene oxide aggregation and deposition on Al2O3 particles across diverse pH values and electrolyte conditions.
Tested the effects of divalent electrolytes (MgCl2, CaCl2), a phosphate salt (NaH2PO4), and poly(acrylic acid) on particle stability.
Divalent cations (MgCl2 and CaCl2) destabilized graphene oxide via charge screening and charge neutralization.
NaH2PO4 and poly(acrylic acid) enhanced graphene oxide dispersion stability with increasing pH through electrostatic interactions and steric repulsion.
Dissolution of Al2O3 accelerated graphene oxide aggregation specifically at relatively low and high pH levels.
