Characterization of GCNF using (a) Dynamic light scattering (DLS) for zeta potential measurement, (b) Scanning electron microscopy for shape. (c) Transmission electron microscopy analysis of GCNF in, without sonication (c1) and after sonication (c2) condition showed that sonication does not affect the morphology of GCNF. (d1, d2) EDAX analysis was used for the elemental analysis which showed that GCNF contains very negligible amount of impurities. (e1, e2) X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy further showed that upon sonication there was no effect in the carbon to oxygen ratio of GCNF
