Reduction Expansion Synthesis as Strategy to Control Nitrogen Doping Level and Surface Area in Graphene

Graphene sheets doped with nitrogen were produced by the reduction-expansion (RES) method utilizing graphite oxide (GO) and urea as precursor materials. The simultaneous graphene generation and nitrogen insertion reactions are based on the fact that urea decomposes upon heating to release reducing g...
