Abstract

The present study focused on the development of magnesium-functionalized graphene oxide (FGO) coating on titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V) by electrophoretic deposition. Graphene oxide (GO) was synthesized by modified Hummers' method and functionalized with magnesium ions. X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy (IR) and Raman spectroscopy were employed to confirm the synthesis of GO and GO-coatings on Ti6Al4V. Functionalization of GO with Mg ions was confirmed by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The surface morphology of coated samples was examined through scanning electron microscopy. Reduction of FGO coating (labelled as rFGO) by heating at 200
