Optical limiting properties of (reduced) graphene oxide covalently functionalized by coordination complexes

The nonlinear optical (NLO) and optical limiting (OL) properties of graphene oxide (GO), reduced graphene oxide (RGO), and particularly GO/RGO coordination complex hybrids are reviewed. A brief introduction to mechanisms of OL and a summary of the key measurement techniques for determining NLO/OL merit is provided. A summary of synthetic procedures to GO/RGO coordination complex hybrids is included. (C) 2018 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
