The research on the properties of graphene oxide (GO) in various media has become one of the hottest topics since GO is now the main raw material for graphene-based advanced materials. In this work, the γ-ray radiation chemistry effect of GO nanosheets and their self-aggregation behavior in t-butanol/water medium were investigated. The results show that GO nanosheets are reduced and hydroxyalkylated simultaneously by the alcohol free radicals produced by the radiolysis of t-butanol/water solution under γ-ray radiation. The radiation-modified GO nanosheets will self-assemble into a self-standing graphene hydrogel when the pH of the solution is lower than 2. A hydroxyl-functionalized free-standing graphene aerogel is further obtained simply by freeze-drying. This work provides not only a general self-assembly mechanism of GO nanosheets in strong acidic alcohol/water media under high energy radiation, but also a facile and economical preparation method for hydroxyalkylated graphene-based aerogel.
