Chapter 5 – Production of Few Layer Graphene in Organic Solvents the range of 83-86 cm-1 (Figure 5.11b). The FWHM(2D) is found to hardly to vary with different sonication time and centrifugation speed. The G band position, D band position and FWHM(D), were invariant with the various sonication time and centrifugation speeds as shown in Figure 5.11c,e,f. Whereas a slight increase in FWHM(G) is observed (Figure 5.11d). However, the lack of significant broadening of the G band and D band confirms that there are no major disruptions to the basal plane as in the case of GO (for GO, FWHM(G) and FWHM(D) > 100 cm-1).173 The position of the G band remained at 1580 Β± 1 cm-1 for all conditions suggesting that the graphene produced is not heavily doped.55, 354, 355 The position of the D band remained fairly unchanged at 1331 Β± 1 cm-1, for all conditions. Figure 5.12: a) Mean 𝐼2𝐷⁄𝐼𝐺 ratio, b) Mean 𝐼𝐷⁄𝐼𝐺 ratio as a function of sonication time with different centrifugation speeds. Highlighted regions show effect of centrifugation speeds at one sonication time (60 hr). Figure 5.12 shows the mean 𝐼2𝐷⁄𝐼𝐺 and 𝐼𝐷⁄𝐼𝐺 ratio as a function of different sonication time. It is well-known that 𝐼2𝐷⁄𝐼𝐺 > 2 is one of the characteristic Raman features of a monolayer graphene.48 Ni et al. shown the intensity of G band increases as the number of graphene layers increases.251 It has also been suggested that number of graphene layers is sensitive to 𝐼2𝐷⁄𝐼𝐺 ratio.250, 252 It can been seen from Figure 5.12a that as sonication time increases, the 𝐼2𝐷⁄𝐼𝐺 increases slightly at a given centrifugation speed (e.g., at 6000 rpm, 𝐼2𝐷⁄𝐼𝐺 ratio changes from 0.47 Β± 0.1 at 24 hr to 0.53 Β± 0.1 at 60 hr). Similarly, as the centrifugation speed increases (highlighted region), the 𝐼2𝐷⁄𝐼𝐺 ratio increases (e.g., at 60 hr, 𝐼2𝐷⁄𝐼𝐺 ratio changes from 0.48 Β± 0.1 at 2000 rpm to 0.55 Β± 0.1 at 147
