▎ 摘  要

We report a simple and effective method for reducing and functionalizing graphene oxide into chemically converted graphene by solvothermal reduction of a graphene oxide suspension in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP). Graphene oxide sheets were functionalized by free radicals generated during heating of NMP in the presence of air. The degree of functionalization was easily controlled by manipulating the reduction time. High functionalized solvothermally reduced graphene oxide (STRG) shows superior dispersibility in various organic solvents, while slightly functionalized STRG shows excellent electrical conductivity. The superior dispersibility of highly functionalized STRG in organic solvents was attributed to the steric effect of functionalized groups on the surface of STRG sheets. Freestanding STRG paper that was reduced for 1 h exhibited electrical conductivity as high as 21600 S m(-1), while the dispersibility of STRG that was reduced for 5 h was as high as 1.4 mg mL(-1).
