Spin coating method for separation and purification using GO and

r-GO membranes.

Spin coating is a widely used method for the fabrication of (r) GO-assisted
membranes. Commonly, the first step of spin coating is dropping GO suspension on a
base. The second step is rotating the plate with high speed. Consequently, there will be
a formation of thin liquid layer which is driven by a centrifugal force. The properties of
different GO membranes prepared by three methods, spin-coating, drop-coating and
solvent-induced precipitation. They used glass and quartz as substrate to fabricate GO
films. As a result, the GO films fabricated by spin-coating were the thinnest among all
products.
Spin coating method can easily adjust the thickness and area of membranes by
controlling the amount of (r) GO solution and the size of the substrate. The produced
r-GO thin film have been used in the application of photodetection.
