Abstract
Graphene based conductive films have gathered attention due to their potential applications in sensors, electrodes, supercapacitors, etc. Thin films of graphene oxide were fabricated on glass substrate by doctor blade technique. Substrates coated with graphene oxide were chemically treated with hydrazine hydrate to obtain thin films of reduced graphene oxide. Both graphene oxide and reduced graphene oxide were analyzed by X-ray diffraction technique to confirm their composition. The sheet resistance was found to be 600 and 1 kΩ/sq in case of ~50 µm thin films of graphene oxide and reduced graphene oxide respectively. The surface morphology of the films was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
