Reduced graphene oxide (rGO) is the form of GO that is processed by chemical, thermal and other methods in order to reduce the oxygen content, while graphite oxide is a material produced by oxidation of graphite which leads to increased interlayer spacing and functionalization of the basal planes of graphite. Graphene oxide is a unique…

Graphene is a single layer of pure carbon and is formed when carbon atoms are bonded into hexagonal patterns. Graphene is considered to be two dimensional because its layer is too thin. Before graphene was discovered on 2004 scientists believed that two dimensional compounds could not exist because they would be too unstable. Graphene however…
