| Abstract | The environmental transport and fate of nanomaterials are largely dependent on their colloidal stability. To date, the stability of reduced graphene oxide (RGO) materials is not well understood. We examined the electrokinetic properties and aggregation kinetics of three RGOs synthesized by reducing graphene oxide (GO) with N2H4, NaBH4, and L-ascorbic acid. In NaCl solution, the critical coagulation concentrations of the materials correlated reasonably with their C/O ratios. However, the increased aggregation tendency of RGOs was caused mainly by their increased hydrophobicity rather than decreased surface charge negativity. For both monovalent and divalent cations, less densely hydrated cations were more effective in causing aggregation than more densely hydrated cations (e.g., K+vs. Na+, and Ca2+vs. Mg2+) owing to the greater efficiency of the former in neutralizing surface charges and the bridging effect in the case of Ca2+. The RGOs exhibited high stability in artificial surface water, whereas different degrees of aggregation were observed in artificial groundwater. Strikingly, in artificial groundwater the aggregation tendency of the materials correlated poorly with the degree of reduction but strongly with the types and concentrations of surface O functionalities, which determined the nature and strength of interactions between RGO and cations in solution. The findings further underline that the stability of nanomaterials is controlled by the complex interplay between nanomaterial surface properties and solution chemistry factors. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
