ABSTRACT
Modern heat-conducting materials require special attention to analyze their thermophysical properties. Compared to classical methods, thermal lens spectrometry (TLS) has advantages due to its high sensitivity to physical and chemical composition. To avoid a systematic error in the analysis of complex systems, it is necessary to realize the limits of the applicability of the method. This study considers the features of thermal-diffusivity measurements by TLS in the stationary state for dispersed systems with absorbances up to 0.05. The limits of applicability of the method in analyzing heterogeneous systems are shown, and a mathematical apparatus is proposed for indicating a systematic error in finding thermal diffusivity that does not exceed 1%. Graphene oxide (GO), which has attractive physicochemical properties, was used as the object of analysis. GO belongs to 2D objects, the study of which requires highly sensitive methods and special attention when discussing the results. The thermophysical properties of aqueous dispersions of graphene oxide in a wide range of concentrations (up to 2 g/L) and lateral sizes (up to 4 µm) were studied by TLS. It has been found that with increasing nanophase concentration, the thermal diffusivity of graphene oxide dispersions passes through a minimum, which can be used in solving thermal insulation problems. It has been established that prolonged laser irradiation of the dispersion leads to a change in thermal diffusivity, which indicates the photochemical reduction of graphene oxide.
