Abstract
Graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets are readily reduced by aniline above room temperature in an aqueous acid medium, with the aniline simultaneously undergoing oxidative polymerization to produce the reduced graphene oxideโpolyaniline nanofiber (RGOโPANi) composites. The resulting RGOโPANi composites and RGO (after dissolution of PANi) were characterized by XPS, XRD analysis, TGA, UVโvisible absorption spectroscopy, and TEM. It was also found that the RGOโPANi composites exhibit good specific capacitance during galvanostatic chargingโdischarging when used as capacitor electrodes. magnified image

The past twenty-five years have seen the discovery of three new carbon allotropes: fullerene, carbon nanotubes and graphene. Graphene, with an ideal two-dimensional structure, demonstrates many unique physical and chemical properties. This short
Graphene oxide (GO) is reduced and functionalized with primary amine by a one-pot solvothermal process using ethylene glycol as solvent and ammonia water as nitrogen precursor at 180 ยฐC for 10 h. The reaction is featured by nucleophilic substitution of -COOH and C-O-C groups by the ammonia radicals.
We report a simple but highly-effective hydrohalic acid reducing method to reduce graphene oxide (GO) films into highly conductive graphene films without destroying their integrity and flexibility at low temperature based on the nucleophilic substitution reaction. GO films reduced for 1 h at 100 ยฐC
