Abstract

In this paper, we report the development of a new green, eco-friendly pathway for the synthesis of reduced graphene oxide (RGO). In a typical experiment, graphene oxide (GO) was prepared by the oxidation of graphite powder using Hummer’s method. Prepared GO was then subjected to reduction by using extract of Tagetes erecta (Marigold flower). The samples were characterized by various techniques such as X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy. RGO synthesized in this work is being probed for diverse applications including biomedical applications.
