Graphene Aerogel Synthesis - Part 1

This is the first video in a two part series. I had to split this into two videos because the vacuum pump in my freeze dryer needs some maintenance which should be done very soon.
I apologize for my voice, I am getting over a cold and still stuffed up.
Full synthesis process:
- Graphene oxide dispersion of 3-4 mg/ml of de-ionized water mixed uniformly with ethylenediamine at 20 μl/5ml and then sealed in a glass vial and heated for 6 -8 hours at 95 ° C (~205 ° F) for synthesis of functionalized graphene hydrogel (FGH).
- After cleaning in de-ionized water and freeze-drying, functionalized graphene aerogel (FGA) is produced.
- Last, the aerogel is exposed to MWI in an inert atmosphere for 1 min to give rise to the final ULGA.
