A superhydrophobic neat graphene aerogel was fabricated for the first time by the facile chemical reduction of a graphene oxide dispersion. The chemical reduction of graphene oxide was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray diffract...
