1. The chemistry of graphene oxideChemical Society Reviews · 2009 · 11,638 citations

   The chemistry of graphene oxide is discussed in this critical review. Particular emphasis is directed toward the synthesis of graphene oxide, as well as its structure. Graphene oxide as a substrate for a variety of chemical transformations, including its reduction…

2. Large-Area Synthesis of High-Quality and Uniform Graphene Films on Copper FoilsScience · 2009 · 11,257 citations

   Graphene has been attracting great interest because of its distinctive band structure and physical properties. Today, graphene is limited to small sizes because it is produced mostly by exfoliating graphite. We grew large-area graphene films of the order of centimeters…

3. Graphene and Graphene Oxide: Synthesis, Properties, and ApplicationsAdvanced Materials · 2010 · 10,568 citations

   There is intense interest in graphene in fields such as physics, chemistry, and materials science, among others. Interest in graphene's exceptional physical properties, chemical tunability, and potential for applications has generated thousands of publications and an accelerating pace of research,…

4. Graphene-Based UltracapacitorsNano Letters · 2008 · 8,396 citations

   The surface area of a single graphene sheet is 2630 m(2)/g, substantially higher than values derived from BET surface area measurements of activated carbons used in current electrochemical double layer capacitors. Our group has pioneered a new carbon material that…

5. Carbon-Based Supercapacitors Produced by Activation of GrapheneScience · 2011 · 6,161 citations

   Supercapacitors, also called ultracapacitors or electrochemical capacitors, store electrical charge on high-surface-area conducting materials. Their widespread use is limited by their low energy storage density and relatively high effective series resistance. Using chemical activation of exfoliated graphite oxide, we synthesized…

6. Graphene, related two-dimensional crystals, and hybrid systems for energy conversion and storageScience · 2015 · 3,468 citations

   Background The integration of graphene in photovoltaic modules, fuel cells, batteries, supercapacitors, and devices for hydrogen generation offers opportunities to tackle challenges driven by the increasing global energy demand. Graphene’s two-dimensional (2D) nature leads to a theoretical surface-to-mass ratio of…
