Structural comparison of reduced graphene oxide nanosheets, with anthocyanin accistance in red beet juice and pomegranate peel extract

Due to synthesized reduced graphene oxide nanosheets, for the first time in the world two green reducing agent utilized. red beet juice and pomegranate peel extract (PPE) are the great source of anthocyanin. These water-soluble chemical substances were used not only as reductant but also as capping agent to form graphene nanosheets. At first, the improved Hummer method was applied to oxidize graphite flakes for the synthesis of graphene oxide (GO), and then the as-produced graphene oxide was reduced by red beet juice and pomegranate peel extract for 12 and 24 hr. Energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) used to characterize the samples. The results obtained from the characterization techniques proved high purity of the final products
