A Green Approach for Highly Reduction of Graphene Oxide by Supercritical Fluid

Article Preview

Abstract:

A green method to synthesize the reduced graphene oxide using supercritical fluid has been developed, which is an environmentally friendly and efficient route. The reduced graphene oxide has been examined by X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy. We have also studied the effects of reduction temperatures and supercritical fluids on the electrical properties of reduced graphene oxide. It was found that ethanol has higher reducing capability than CO2 at all temperatures (200 - 400 °C) examined in this study for graphene oxide reduction. As a result, reduced graphene oxide (6300 S/m) from supercritical ethanol treatment has 5 times as high conductivity as that from supercritical CO2 treatment at the reduction temperature of 400 °C. This green process is applicable for large scale production of reduced graphene oxides for various practical applications.
