Bulk Synthesis of Reduced Graphene Oxide Cakes

Abstract
Reduced graphite oxide (RGO) is a versatile materials used for developing products in various commercial applications. Graphite oxide (GO) materials were prepared by well known modified hummer's method. RGO and RGO cakes were obtained by the chemical reduction of GO using hydrazine hydrate at room temperature. The obtained RGO product was characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), Raman techniques. This is an efficient route to produce RGO sheets and amenable to bulk production and for commercial applications.
