Synthesize of Reduced Graphene Oxide Using Black Tea

Graphene is one atomic thick sheet of carbon atoms of carbon atoms containing hexagonal lattice arrays. Graphene is known as the thinnest, lightest and very strong material. The profound application of graphene is due to its high surface area, chemical stability, and excellent electrical, thermal and mechanical properties. . The applications of graphene include: biosensors , drug delivery , water purification and nanocomposites . The demand of graphene for its industrial applications mainly depends upon the availability of economical, efficient and feasible method that allow the preparing of graphene on large scale. The reduction of GO into Graphene required toxic and hazardous chemicals. To solve these problem, green reduction method was developed to reduce graphene oxide into rGO using an environmentally friendly, nontoxic green reductant such as: Green Tea
