Abstract—

We review state-of-the-art progress in the field of graphene oxide, a material that has a wide range of applications due to its unique properties, for example, the dielectric properties of graphene oxide can be used in memristors, the use of different degrees of reduction allows creating multipolar electrodes of lithium-ion batteries and supercapacitors, various oxygen-containing functional groups contained on the surface of graphene oxide can be a substrate for the formation of transition metal nanoparticles and the creation of photocatalysts or chemical and biological sensors based on such a composite, graphene oxide membranes are capable of selective separation of gases and metal ions. In this regard, the information presented in the article about the structure, properties, methods of synthesis, and reduction of graphene oxide will be in demand in laboratory and technological processes when designing and predicting the characteristics of materials and devices based on graphene oxide.
