The simultaneous coupling and reduction of graphene oxide (GO) with diatom silica (Amphora sp., Navicula ramossisira and Skeletonema sp.) were demonstrated in this work. Binding of GO with diatom silica via direct esterification reaction at 100 °C was observed as well as the reduction of GO. The Ram...
