Improving Superior Characteristics of Glass using Graphene- Coated

Abstract

An interesting method for preparing graphene-coated on the soda-lime glass. This work reveals the structural and optical study of Graphene coated soda-lime glass. The graphene-coated soda-lime glass was prepared by a dip-coating process in the presence of graphene which is obtained by the Hummers method. The coatings cycles were varied. The prepared samples' structure, morphology, and optical properties were investigated via XRD, SEM, EDS, FTIR, UV, and contact angle. The XRD spectra indicated the existence of graphene particles. The FTIR spectroscopy technique identifies the functional group present in the sample. The morphology of the graphene-coated soda-lime glass was characterized by SEM analysis. The elements present in the sample were analyzed using EDS spectra. The energy bandgap was identified by Ultraviolet spectroscopy and the bandgap was high for graphene-coated glass. The contact angle value is increased for coated glass compared with soda-lime glass.
