ThedependenceofMAperformanceontheGF'schemicalcompositionThemacroscopicadditive-freeGFforMAtestswaspreparedmainlythroughasolvothermalreaction,followedbysolventremovalandthermalreduction.
Byvaryingannealingtemperaturesinthethermalreductionfromroomtemperatureto800C,vetypesofpie-shapedGFsstartingfromthesameGOconcentrationof0.

Forconvenience,theunan-nealedGFislabeledasT0andtheotherannealedproductswerelabeledasT200,T400,T600andT800intemperaturesequences.
Duetothepyrolysisofthelabileoxygen-containinggroupsandthecarbondefects,theGFundergoesanobviousweightlossduringthethermalreduction.

ThedependenceofMAperformanceontheGF'schemicalcompositionThemacroscopicadditive-freeGFforMAtestswaspreparedmainlythroughasolvothermalreaction,followedbysolventremovalandthermalreduction.
Byvaryingannealingtemperaturesinthethermalreductionfromroomtemperatureto800C,vetypesofpie-shapedGFsstartingfromthesameGOconcentrationof0.

Forconvenience,theunan-nealedGFislabeledasT0andtheotherannealedproductswerelabeledasT200,T400,T600andT800intemperaturesequences.
Duetothepyrolysisofthelabileoxygen-containinggroupsandthecarbondefects,theGFundergoesanobviousweightlossduringthethermalreduction.

ConclusionInsummary,wehavepreparedseriesofGFswithvariouschemicalcompositionsandphysicalstructuresbycontrollingtheGOconcentrationoftheinitialsolutionandthermal-reductiontemperature.
TheanalysesoftheGFs'compositions,structuresandelectromagneticpropertiessuggestthattheMAperformanceoftheGFisstronglycorrelatedwiththeC/Oratio,conjugatedcarboncontentandthegrapheneskeletonmicrostructure.
