Northwestern University researchers invented graphene oxide (GO) dough that can be molded to form solid graphene structures

February 15, 2019

Briefing

  • GO Dough – Researchers at Northwestern University made graphene oxide (GO) dough that is moldable like play dough and can be shaped and reshaped into three dimensional structures
  • How It Is Made – Added concentrated graphene oxide into water, instead of adding binders, such as plastics, which need to be removed and can alter material’s properties
  • Background – Graphene oxide is used to make graphene, single atom carbon material that is lightweight, strong, and electrically conductive
  • Applications – Can make solid structures that are electrically conductive, chemically stable and mechanically hard, allowing graphene to achieve potential for various applications
