Abstract

We report the deposition of films composed of overlapped and stacked platelets of graphene oxide (G-O) reduced by an electrophoretic deposition (EPD) process. The oxygen functional groups of G-O were significantly removed by the EPD process, and the as-deposited G-O film by EPD showed improved electrical conductivity (1.43 - 104 Sm-1) over G-O papers made by the filtration method (0.53 - 10-3 Sm-1). This method for reducing G-O without added reducing agents has the potential for high-yield, large-area, low-cost, and environmentally friendly production of films composed of reduced G-O platelets.
