Hydrolysable tannin as environmentally friendly reducer and stabilizer for graphene oxideElectronic supplementary information (ESI) available: Details of experimental procedures, control experiments, Raman and XPS spectra of TA, and characterizations. See DOI: 10.1039/c1gc15081b

An environmentally friendly method for preparing reduced graphene oxide (rGO) was established based on the typical hydrolysable tannin, tannic acid (TA). TA is fully competent in reducing GO and stabilizing rGO simultaneously. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
