Review on effects of hydrazine hydrate and L-ascorbic acid on electrical conductivity of graphene

Abstract

Graphene is a 2D carbon-based materials that comprises one atom-thick planar sheets of sp2-bonded carbon atoms making it as the thinnest compound in the world. Its application in electronics devices has been widely investigated because of the high electron density on monochrome graphene sheets. Graphene can be synthesized using top down approach, which involves oxidation of graphite to GO using Staudenmaier or Hummer’s methods and subsequently reducing the GO to graphene. The. At the current state of graphene research, the controlled, large scale synthesis of high quality graphene is still remains a challenge. All the methods and raw materials used for graphene synthesis have their advantages and disadvantages. Thus, the purpose of this study is to review the effects of reducing agents particularly, hydrazine hydrate (HH) and L-ascorbic acid (L-AA) on the electrical conductivity of graphene. The review was carried out by comparing characteristic properties of graphene after the reduction process using several equipment such as FTIR, XRD and four-point probe for conductivity.Graphene is a 2D carbon-based materials that comprises one atom-thick planar sheets of sp2-bonded carbon atoms making it as the thinnest compound in the world.
