Direct observation of single layer graphene oxide reduction through spatially resolved, single sheet absorption/emission microscopy
Laser reduction of graphene oxide (GO) offers unique opportunities for the rapid, nonchemical production of graphene. By tuning relevant reduction parameters, the band gap and conductivity of reduced GO can be precisely controlled. In situ monitoring of single layer GO reduction is therefore essenti...

Laser reduction of graphene oxide (GO) offers unique opportunities for the rapid, nonchemical production of graphene. By tuning relevant reduction parameters, the band gap and conductivity of reduced GO can be precisely controlled. In situ monitoring of single layer GO reduction is therefore essential.

Absorption/emission movies illustrate the initial stages of single layer GO reduction, its transition to reduced-GO (rGO) as well as its subsequent decomposition upon prolonged laser illumination. These studies reveal GO's photoreduction life cycle and through it native GO/rGO absorption coefficients, their intrasheet distributions as well as their spatial heterogeneities. Extracted absorption coefficients for unreduced GO are α405 nm ≈ 6.5 ± 1.1 × 104 cm-1, α 520 nm ≈ 2.1 ± 0.4 × 104 cm-1, and α640 nm ≈ 1.1 ± 0.3 × 104 cm-1 while corresponding rGO α-values are α 405 nm ≈ 21.6 ± 0.6 × 104 cm-1, α520 nm ≈ 16.9 ± 0.4 × 104 cm -1, and α640 nm ≈ 14.5 ± 0.4 × 104 cm-1.
