▎ 摘  要

The chemical reduction of a wet colloidal suspension of graphene oxide is a cost-effective and adaptable method for large scale production of "quasi" graphene for a wide variety of optoelectronic applications. In this study, modified Hummers' procedure was used to synthesize high quality graphene oxide at 50 degrees C. This modified protocol thus eliminates the potentially hazardous second high-temperature step in Hummers' method for the production of GO. Furthermore, the reduction of graphene oxide by lithium triethylborohydride is demonstrated for the first time. According to FT-IR, UV-Vis, TGA, Raman, SEM/EDS, and AFM results, the reduced graphene oxide (LiEt3BH-RGO) has properties comparable to other reduced graphene oxide products reported in the literature.
