Abstract
This chapter focuses on the preparation of partially reduced rGO/geopolymer matrix composites by in situ synthesis using metakaolin, alkaline solution and GO as raw materials. The effects of reduction temperature and time of alkaline reduction on the characteristics and microstructure before and after GO reduction are systematically studied by using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Raman spectroscopy (Raman), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis, scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and so on. The reduction transformation mechanism of GO under the alkaline solution is also discussed. The synthesis of in situ reduced rGO/geopolymer provides a new and green way to prepare the composite, which may be attractive for applications in the future.
