Abstract

This investigation aimed to explore the characteristics of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) through a comprehensive approach. The synthesis of graphene oxide (GO) began with a customized adaptation of the modified Hummer’s method, followed by subsequent chemical and thermal reduction processes. Chemical reduction involved the use of ascorbic acid, hydrazine hydrate, and sodium borohydride, while thermal reduction occurred at various temperatures in the presence of hydrogen. The study employed a diverse array of analytical techniques to unravel the structural and chemical intricacies of the material. X-ray diffraction (XRD) revealed significant changes indicative of structural transformations. Raman spectroscopy meticulously examined defects and layer formations. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) visualized the evolutionary aspects of the material’s structure. UV–VIS spectroscopy is employed to analyze the optical bandgap of the sample, and the primary importance of this study lies in its application potential for solar cells.
