Abstract

GO is a monolayer of graphite oxide. Graphite oxide was successfully fabricated in laboratory for over one and half centuries ago. Generally, there are three main approaches to synthesize graphite oxide. By exfoliating graphite oxide into monolayered structures, GO sheets can be obtained. The formation mechanism of GO from oxidizing graphene will also be discussed. On the other hand, GO is an important raw material to mass-produce graphene via removing the oxygen-containing groups, i.e. reduction of GO. Among different reduction methods, the chemical reduction can occur at low or moderate temperatures with the help of reducing reagents, which is one of the most commonly used approaches to transform GO back into graphene.
