Structural Evolution of Hydrothermally Derived Reduced Graphene Oxide

Abstract Hydrothermal reduction is a promising approach for graphene oxide (GO) reduction since it is environmentally friendly, simple, and cost effective. We present a detailed study of structural changes occurring in graphene oxide during the reduction process. The correlations between the interla...
