Abstract

In this study, thermally pre-reduced graphene oxide films were prepared, with respect to different microwave irradiation time and the electrical properties of those films were investigated. The interaction of GO films under intense microwave irradiation was also examined. It was found that the response of GO films to microwave irradiation was not obvious, while significant reduction could be observed for thermally pre-reduced GO films during microwave treatment. The reduction by microwave irradiation of pre-reduced GO films was confirmed through X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and raman spectroscopy. Compared with that of GO films, electrical conductivity of thermally pre-reduced GO films, under microwave irradiation for 5 min, was increased by three orders of magnitude approximately. The results indicated that pre-reduced GO films were effective microwave absorbent, with conversing microwave energy to heat, thus contributing to the restoration of graphite lattice and enhancing connectivity of existing graphite domains.
