Abstract
A one-pot approach for the scalable production of novel interconnected reduced graphene oxide (IC-RGO) is demonstrated). The method consists of two steps: oxidation of graphite into graphene oxide (GO); and concomitant reduction and interconnection of GO. IC-RGO is formed without additional chemical and reduction agents. Instead, interconnection of graphene oxide is enabled thorough inherently presenting oxygen functional groups produced during the first step of synthesis.
