“…The control PAN signified its functional peak at 2240 cm −1 , 1470 cm −1 , and 2930 cm −1 which are ascribed to the C≡N (nitrile group), bending and stretching vibration of methylene groups, correspondingly ( Supplementary Figure S3a ) [ 34 ]. The other functional groups have been found at 1070 cm −1 , 1350 cm −1, and 1730 cm −1 due to the C-CN groups, stretching of C-H in CH groups, stretching and absorption of C=O in COOH groups, respectively ( Supplementary Figure S3a ) [ 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 ]. On the other hand, the typical peaks of GO can be seen from 950 cm −1 to 1450 cm −1 , derived from the occurrence of C–O bonds of epoxy groups, hydroxyl groups, and other C-OH vibrations of carboxyl groups, with peaks at 1628 cm −1 , 1730 cm −1 , and 3280 cm −1 confirming the presence of C=C, C=O, and -OH groups, correspondingly ( Supplementary Figure S3b ) [ 19 , 39 ].…”
