The reduction of graphene oxide (GO) is dealt with by chemical and electrochemical methods. The reaction mechanisms are investigated by photoemission spectroscopy (XPS), electrochemical and microscopic techniques, Raman spectroscopy and theoretical methods. Furthermore, interfaces between variably reduced GO and semiconductor surfaces (Si, ITO) are prepared and studied for possible applications in advanced electronic / optical devices, and matrices in the biomedical field for their interaction with human cells of various types.
