The influence of the type of graphite on the size of reduced graphene oxide

Reduced graphene oxide is a very attractive material for sensor applications. It exhibits high conductivity at room temperature and a high specific surface area. Since it can be produced in many ways, its properties can be influenced by the fabrication method. In this paper, we investigated the influence of graphite precursors (flake, scalar and synthetic) on the size of reduced graphene oxide. We have shown that the size of the precursor determines the size of the obtained rGO. We have noted that the larger the graphite size, the larger the rGO size.
