In this work, the reducing power of three reductants: hydrazine (chemical), ascorbic acid (mild) and the extract of Amaranthus hybridus (green) were investigated. Graphene oxide (GO) was synthesized by modified Hummer’s method and was reduced by hydrazine (RGO-HZ), ascorbic acid (RGO-AA) and the ext...
