Wrinkled graphene oxide (WGO) is formed using the solution method. The sub-μm-sized wrinkles are generated on the GO surface, with more wrinkles forming as the GaCl3 in the solution increases. The wrinkles are observed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) methods.

Negatively charged GO in the solution was attracted to the positively charged SF surface via electrostatic force without any help from adhesive intermediates. The magnitude of the positively charged SF surface was controlled through the static electricity charges created on the SF surface.

The material properties of both GaO and GO were preserved, even after the formation of the HCs. The incorporation of the GO into the GaO significantly enhanced the photocatalytic reaction, as indicated by the amount of methylene blue (MB) degradation.
