HIGH-QUALITY GRAPHENE AND METHOD OF PRODUCING SAME VIA MICROWAVE REDUCTION OF GRAPHENE OXIDE

摘要

Disclosed are a method of producing microwave-reduced graphene oxide (MW-rGO), by providing graphene oxide; reducing the graphene oxide to obtain reduced graphene oxide (rGO) wherein the reduction of oxygen concentration is sufficient to allow microwaves to be absorbed by the rGO; and microwaving the reduced graphene oxide until microwave-reduced graphene oxide (MW- rGO) containing an oxygen concentration of 5 atomic% or less is produced. The method is a quick and efficient method to produce high quality graphene.
