This work compares the properties of GO and RGO with graphite. GO was prepared by using Improved Hummer's method whereas the produced GO was subjected to chemical reduction with the use of hydrazine hydrate. Graphite, GO and RGO had different morphologies, quality, functionalized groups, UV-Vis absorption peaks and crystallinity. With the removal of oxygen-containing functional group during reduction for RGO, the quality of samples was decreased due to higher intensity of D band than G band was seen in Raman results. In addition, platelet-like surface can be observed on the surface of graphite as compared to GO and RGO where wrinkled and layered flakes, and crumpled thin sheets were observed on GO and RGO surface respectively. Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FTIR) analysis showed the presence of abundant oxygen-containing functional groups in GO as compared to RGO and graphite. The characteristic peaks at 26.62°, 9.03°and 24.10°for graphite, GO and RGO, respectively, can be detected from X-Ray diffraction (XRD). Furthermore, the reduction also caused red shift at 279nm from 238nm, as obtained from ultraviolet visible (UV-Vis) analysis. The results proved that GO was successfully oxidized from graphite whereas RGO was effectively reduced from GO. © 2017 Author(s). date: 2017 publisher: American Institute of Physics Inc. official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85037634861&doi=10.1063%2f1.5005764&partnerID=40&md5=b5ffdf563fca1757d8e140539d5d1ddb id_number: 10.1063/1.5005764 full_text_status: none publication: AIP Conference Proceedings volume: 1892 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9780735415744 issn: 0094243X citation: Hidayah, N.M.S. and Liu, W.-W. and Lai, C.-W. and Noriman, N.Z. and Khe, C.-S. and Hashim, U. and Lee, H.C.
