| Popis: | To address the environmental concerns, a relatively simple, innovative and low-cost procedure has been suggested for synthesis of graphene nanosheets (GNSs). The procedure utilized here for synthesizing GNSs is derived from aqueous suspension of graphene oxide (GO). Ficus carica (FC) is known to be remarkable antioxidant. It is regarded as suitable biocompatible alternative to hazardous and toxic chemicals. This method ensures non-hazardous nature of the deoxygenating agent (FC) as well as their oxidized outcomes. Structural and morphological characterization indicates the absence of oxygen-bearing groups from graphene oxide. Characterization was done by standard techniques such as X-ray crystallography, FTIR, RAMAN, DLS, and UV–Vis spectrophotometry. Morphological investigation of resulting material was also undertaken through standard techniques by FESEM, TEM, HRTEM with SAED pattern. Thermal stability of FC derived graphene was also investigated. The investigation may initiate new routes for preparing GNSs at large scale facilitating a better research and commercial utilization.
