The rapid and enhanced reduction of graphene oxide by microwave assisted acid catalyzed reaction.
We report a novel synthetic route to fabricate reduced graphene oxide (rGO) from graphene oxide (GO) using a microwave assisted acid catalyzed reaction in organic solvent. The obtained rGO in this study exhibited 4 times higher electrical conductivity, less oxygen content and better ordered structure than that of conventional solvothermally fabricated ones. By using microwave irradiation, high quality rGO can be obtained in several minutes.
