This study systematically investigates the effects of individual and combined incorporation of graphene oxide (GO) and nano-silica sol (NS) on the macroscopic properties and microstructure of cement-based grouting materials, with emphasis on their synergistic mechanisms. A series of macroscopic tests including setting time, fluidity, bleeding rate, and mechanical strength were conducted, complemented by multi-scale microstructural characterization techniques such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP), and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The results demonstrate that both NS and GO effectively reduce setting time and bleeding rate while enhancing mechanical strength; however, NS exhibits a more pronounced adverse effect on fluidity compared to GO. The hybrid system displays a distinct transition from synergy to antagonism: under low-dosage co-incorporation (2 wt% NS + 0.01 wt% GO), the flexural and compressive strengths increased by 13.5% and 45.5%, respectively, relative to the reference group. Microscopic analysis revealed that the synergistic interaction between the pozzolanic effect of NS and the templating effect of GO under this condition optimizes hydrate morphology and pore structure, leading to enhanced performance. Conversely, excessive dosage of either component induces agglomeration, resulting in microstructural deterioration and performance degradation. This study establishes optimal dosage ranges and combination principles for NS and GO in cement-based materials, providing a theoretical foundation for designing high-workability and high-strength cementitious composites.
