Monoxide PbO are amphoteric. Monoxide A monoxide is any oxide containing just one atom of oxygen in the molecule. For example, Potassium oxide (KO), has only one atom of oxygen, and is thus a monoxide. Water (HO) is also a monoxide; see dihydrogen monoxide hoax. A well known monoxide is carbon monoxide (CO); see carbon monoxide poisoning. Most of the members of the Periodic Table form oxides when oxidized. There are two main types of oxides: monoxides and dioxides. Monoxides (generally MO) such as silicon monoxide (SiO) only exist at high temperatures. Among monoxides, CO is neutral, GeO is distinctly acidic,
Graphite oxide deposition is done under ambient conditions and can use a wide range of substrates. Langmuir-Blodgett has been suggested to produce films with better quality compared to other methods such as chemical vapor deposition, spin coating or dip coating. Graphene oxide can be further reduced into graphene. Nonlinear optical materials are of great importance for ultrafast photonics and optoelectronics. Recently, the giant optical nonlinearities of graphene oxide (GO) has been proved useful for a number of applications. For example, the optical limiting of GO are indispensable to protect sensitive instruments from laser-induced damage. And the saturable absorption can be used for
