[Objective]A systemic investigation was performed to study the reduction process of graphene oxide by hydrothermal method.[Methods]The reduced graphene oxide (RGO)was facilely prepared via a solid/gas reaction of graphene oxide (GO)and ethanol vapor in a self-de-signed hydrothermal system.Ethanol was introduced into the hydrothermal system to improve the reduction.The structure and property of graphene materials were characterized by trans-mission electron microscope (TEM),X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD),X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS),X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES)spectroscopy and thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA).[Results]The oxygen functional groups were effectively removed by the solid/gas interfacial reduction in a hydrothermal process,and theπ-conj ugated frame-work of graphene was effectively recovered.The TGA results show that the thermal stability of RGO is much better than that of GO.[Conclusion]This method offers a low-cost,effective and eco-friendly route for large-scale production of grapheme.
