Innovative Process of Amorphous Cellulose – Graphene Oxide Hybrid structure bead

The amorphous cellulose (AC) and amorphous cellulose-graphene oxide hybrid structure (ACGO) bead was successfully fabricated via aqueous sulfuric acid solvent system. The methodology was compared to previous solvent systems in two perspectives including practical and economic perspectives to emphasize the advantages of the methodology. Two bead series were obtained: white AC bead and light brown ACGO bead. The light brown colour suggested that GO was successfully embedded in AC bead. In both perspectives, the proposed methodology was the most practical and efficient comparing to the other methodologies used in this study. Hence, the ACGO bead can be considered as one of the alternative “Green” materials for various applications.
