%X Thermally-reduced graphene was obtained from reduction of graphene oxide (GO) via heat treatment under the hydrogen in the range of 300-1100¡ãC. In order to find optimum tempreture, the synthesized graphene has been investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), FTIR spectroscopy as well as Raman spectroscopy. The result indicated that the reduced graphene at 900¡ãC (GR900) had the highest quality in comparison with the other temperatures. Additionally, GR900 exhibited a sharp (002) peak corresponding to an interlayer distance of 3.39¡ã A, which is close to that of conventional graphene (3.4¡ãA). However, the structure of GR900 was also investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and the results supported the previous findings.
