%X This research describes how to synthesize graphene oxide following modified Hummer¡¯s technique, then its chemical reduction to produce reduced graphene oxide as a final graphene-like product. Due to its peculiar properties, graphene, a distinct carbon allotrope with an atom-thick structure, is regarded as a mysterious substance in the modern day. Because of its incredible electronic, mechanical, optical and thermal characteristics, it has attracted attention of researchers on a global scale. Recent developments have shown that graphene-based materials can significantly improve the properties of chemical sensors, nanocomposites, electrical and electronic equipment, optoelectronics, and energy storage devices. This study focuses on a modified synthesis of Graphene Oxide (GO), a crucial building block in the chemistry of graphene, and transforms graphene oxide back into reduced Graphene Oxide, a structure resembling 2D graphene. Electrochemical methods, XRD, and FTIR examinations provided proof that reduced graphene oxide was produced from graphene oxide, which was initially obtained from powder of graphite.
