This study focuses on the in-situ reduction of graphene oxide (GO) combined with the functionalization of calcium sulphate (CS) under ambient conditions. The process involves reacting calcium carbonate (CC) with sulphuric acid to produce CS, carbon dioxide, and water through an exothermic reaction that drives the entire process forward. The carbon dioxide generated reacts with water to form carbonic acid, which, along with the reaction environment, facilitates the reduction of GO without requiring external heating. The resulting material, a composite of reduced GO and CS (CSRGO), exhibits significant potential as a hydrophobic, anti-corrosive agent. The hydrophobic nature of CSRGO arises from the integration of CS crystals with RGO sheets, as demonstrated by water contact angle measurements: CSRGO achieves a contact angle of approximately 130°, compared to 45° for CS and 80° for RGO. The anti-corrosion performance of CSRGO was evaluated using a salt spray test, where a CSRGO-coated mild steel (MS) panel was exposed to a 5 % NaCl solution for 21 days, showing excellent resistance to corrosion. Electrochemical analysis further supported these findings, with Nyquist plots indicating superior charge transfer resistance and high series resistance for CSRGO. This straightforward one-pot synthesis approach at room temperature effectively produces a CSRGO composite by reducing GO while simultaneously forming CS crystals.
