Physical reduction of graphene oxide for supercapacitive charge storage

The oxygen-containing functional groups in graphene oxide (GO) impose considerable limitations in their applications requiring chemical inertness and electrical conductivity such as supercapacitive charge storage. Chemical reduction of GO has been frequently employed; however, processing of large vo...
