Reduction method of graphene oxide

Abstract

The invention discloses a reduction method of graphene oxide. According to the reduction method, with metal hydride as a reducing agent and lewis acid as a catalyst, graphene oxide is reduced at room temperature. The reduction method comprises the following steps: dispersing the graphene oxide in a solvent according to the dispersing concentration of 0.2mg/ml-4mg/ml by virtue of a magnetic stirring, high-shearing mixing or ultrasonic dispersing method; adding lewis acid, stirring and dispersing, wherein the adding concentration of the lewis acid is 1mM-30mM; adding metal hydride and stirring, wherein the dispersing concentration of the metal hydride is 10mM-300mM, and carrying out reduction reaction for 30 minutes to 12 hours at room temperature; filtering and washing by using a cleaning agent until the pH value is neutral, wherein the cleaning agent is pure water, and the metal hydride is one of lithium aluminum hydride, sodium borohydride and sodium hydride. The reduction method of the graphene oxide is efficient, cheap, non-toxic and pollution-free and capable of efficiently removing oxygen-containing functional groups out of graphene oxide, so that a hexatomic ring structure of the graphene oxide is recovered.
