Graphene oxide (GO) serves as a versatile platform for various applications, with the oxygen content of GO playing an important role in governing its properties. In the present study, different GO types covering a wide range of oxidation degree were prepared using our newly developed two-step method involving ball milling of graphite followed by its oxidation to GO. In addition to the variations in their physicochemical properties, the different GO types exhibited differences in proton relaxivity due to their paramagnetic nature. Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy studies showed that the degree of oxidation of GO perturbs its nuclear relaxation properties and, together with intercalated Mn 2+ ions, provides large contrast variation in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The study for the first time reveals that the surface chemistry of GO affects its relaxivity and opens up new avenues for developing tunable GO-based contrast agents in magnetic resonance imaging for diagnostics and therapies.
