Reduction of Graphene Oxide Using an Environmentally Friendly Method and Its Application to Energy-Related Materials

Since graphene oxide can be synthesized in large quantities by oxidation of inexpensively available natural graphite and dispersed water, it coated onto a variety substrates solution processes. Graphene also reduced to yield oxide, which has similar electronic features graphene. This review introduces the environmentally friendly methods for synthesis utilizing electrochemical thermal summarizes our recent research results on their application energy-related materials such as electric double-layer capacitors, thermoelectric devices, transparent conductive films, lithium-ion secondary batteries.
