GO was prepared by the Hummers method.[3] Figure 1 shows the experimental XRD patterns of the
G and GO, which are obtained by an XRD diffractometer (D/Max-2500) with Cu radiation ( =
0.154 nm). The interlayer distance obtained from the
(002) peak is 0.335 nm (2 = 26.60 ) in G. This is
markedly expanded to 0.855 nm (2 = 10.34 ) after
oxidation to form GO. Three-dimensional () peaks
such as (101), (102), (103) and (112) are obvious in
G, but absent in GO with only (00) and (0) ones
left. This means that GO is a turbostratically stacked
material and its structure should be explained by the
WB equation.

(002) peaks are left. This demonstrates that after oxidation the scattering characteristic of (00) peaks is
mainly decided by atomic thermal vibration along the
-axis.
The effect of atomic thermal vibration along the axis is shown in Fig. 3. As the (0) diffractions just
occur in the high angle section, 2 is selected from
35 to 85 . In addition, in order to avoid the effect
of (00) diffractions, = 0.100 nm is chosen among
the fixed parameters, obtained from Fig. 2. With the
increase of , the intensity of (110) peak is reduced,
when = 0.0250 nm, the peak is dim. Moreover, its
variation is more obvious than the (100) peak, meeting the experimental results (GO in Fig. 1). However,
considering that the thermal vibration along the axis is small as the strong atomic interactions are in
the basal planes, the effect of on (0) peaks is
limited.
We think that the scattering characteristic of GO
can be attributed to two mechanisms. One is that
after oxidation, carbon atom interactions decrease.
According to the work described by Erickson,[19]
when GO is exfoliated to form graphene oxide,
the high-resolution transmission electron microscopy
(HRTEM) images have demonstrated that the connection forces among carbon atoms are reduced and
some atoms even removed from the basal plane to
form the holes. Thus carbon atoms easily deviate
from the normal positions as a result of thermal vibration. Another reason is attributed to the introduction
of oxygen-containing functional groups to GO. Figure 4 shows the FTIR spectra of GO, exhibiting all
the groups, characterized by the FTIR spectrometer
(Nicolet-6700). With the introduction of oxygenated
groups, such as C = O and CO, on the one hand
the interlayer distance is expanded, which favors the
atomic vibration along the -axis, and on the other
hand the carbon atoms vibrate more easily with the
thermal vibration of oxygenated groups. Furthermore,
as most groups are on the basal planes and a few at
the edges,[9] the vibrations along the -axis are more
violent than those along the -axis. Thus the (00)
scatterings are much more easily affected by the thermal vibrations than the (0) ones.
