Аннотация:Graphene oxide (GO), with its tunable electronic properties and bandgap, has
emerged as a promising material for next-generation semiconductor applications.
However, the presence of oxygen-containing functional groups in GO disrupts its
conjugated π-network, reducing conductivity and thermal stability, thus limiting its
practical applications. In this work, hydrazine and hydroquinone are employed as
reducing agents to optimize the reduction process of GO and improve its electrical
and structural properties. The structural transformations of GO and reduced GO
(RGO) are analyzed using FTIR, Raman spectroscopy and UV-vis spectroscopy. The
results reveal that both reducing agents effectively reduced oxygen functional groups
and restored sp² hybridized carbon structures, with hydrazine showing a stronger
reducing capability but causing more structural defects, whereas hydroquinone results
in a more controlled reduction process. The outcomes highlight the potential of these
reduction strategies for enhancing GO’s performance in advanced electronic
applications, including memory devices and field-effect transistors.
