Reduced graphene oxide (rGO) is a valuable graphene derivative. It shows different chemical and structural properties due to the differences in their chemical compositions. The reduction of graphene oxide is considered to be an attractive route to obtain graphene-like behavior.

Reduced graphene oxide shows hydrophobic behavior due to the loss of oxygen-containing compounds. Once reduced graphene oxide has been produced, there are ways to functionalize the material for specific use in different applications. By treating rGO with various chemicals or by creating new compounds by combining rGO with other two-dimensional materials, it is possible to enhance the properties of the compound to suit commercial applications.

At MFA, the most recent progress and challenges associated with reduced graphene oxide are analyzed in detail, including innovative materials and processes, as well as new modeling techniques and current approaches to face economic and environmental issues.
