RGO (reduced graphene oxide)

Reduced graphene oxide (RGO) is a form of graphene that is derived from graphene oxide through a chemical or thermal process. Graphene oxide is a sheet of carbon atoms with oxygen-containing groups, making it more insulating and less conductive than pure graphene. When these oxygen groups are removed or reduced, RGO becomes more conductive and retains many of graphene’s desirable properties, such as strength, flexibility, and a large surface area. RGO is useful in applications like sensors, batteries, and composite materials, offering a balance between ease of production and high-performance characteristics.
