氧化石墨烯在缺氧氧化锌薄膜表面的自发分裂

第一次从实验上展现了氧化石墨烯在缺氧氧化锌薄膜表面的自发分裂，即完整的氧化石墨烯片会自发分裂成许多小片. 此现象的可能机制是：氧化石墨烯表面存在链状的环氧基团，缺氧氧化锌薄膜表面的氧空位能够吸收氧化石墨烯表面的环氧基团，影响氧化石墨烯表面的环氧基团链的稳定性，导致环氧基团链自发打开，从而使完整的氧化石墨烯片破裂成很多小片.

Spontaneous Cracking of Graphite Oxide Sheet on Oxygen Deficient ZnO Film

Graphite oxide （GO） is an important material of wide applications. Owing to its good mechanical property, the GO sheet is always expected to be stable and remains flat on various substrates. Here we demonstrate for the first time an unexpected behavior of the GO sheet on oxygen deficient ZnO film, namely the spontaneous cracking of the entire GO sheet into many small pieces. This unusual behavior has been carefully investigated by a series of control experiments and SEM, XPS and PL measurements. It is anticipated that the oxygen vacancies in the oxygen deficient ZnO film can annihilate epoxy groups of the GO sheet, resulting in the unzipping of the aligned epoxy groups on GO sheet. A prototype of the white light detector made from the cracked GO sheet is fabricated and the device demonstrates high stability and good reproducibility.
