Unilamellar colloids of graphite oxide (GO) were prepared from natural graphite and were grown as monolayer and multilayer thin films on cationic surfaces by electrostatic self-assembly. The multilayer films were grown by alternate adsorption of anionic GO sheets and cationic poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH). The monolayer films consisted of 11-14 Angstrom thick GO sheets, with lateral dimensions between 150 nm and 9 mu m. Silicon substrates primed with amine monolayers gave partial GO monolayers, but surfaces primed with Al13O4-(OH)(24)(H2O)(12)(7+) ions gave densely tiled films that covered approximately 90% of the surface. When alkaline GO colloids were used, the monolayer assembly process selected the largest sheets (from 900 nm to 9 mu m) from the suspension. In this case, many of the flexible sheets appeared folded in AFM images. Multilayer (GO/PAH)(n) films were invariably thicker than expected from the individual thicknesses of the sheets and the polymer monolayers, and this behavior is also attributed to folding of the sheets. Multilayer (GO/PAH), and (GO/polyaniline)(n) films grown between indium-tin oxide and Pt electrodes show diodelike behavior, and higher currents are observed with the conductive polyaniline-containing films. The resisitivity of these films is decreased, as expected, by partial reduction of GO to carbon.
