TL;DR: In this paper, the deoxygenation efficiency of graphene oxide suspensions by different reductants (sodium borohydride, pyrogallol, and vitamin C, in addition to hydrazine), as well as by heating the suspensions under alkaline conditions, was compared.

TL;DR: In this article, the preparation of aqueous graphene dispersions by exfoliation of pristine graphite in the presence of a wide range of surfactants was reported, and the potential utility of such highly concentrated dispersions toward the low-cost, large-scale manipulation and processing of graphene was demonstrated by processing them into electrically conductive, free-standing paper-like films.

TL;DR: In this paper, the use of UV light to trigger different processes involving graphene oxide sheets suspended in aqueous medium at room temperature has been investigated, including deoxygenation of the sheets in the absence of photocatalysts, reducing agents and stabilizers, selective nucleation and growth of metal nanoparticles on the sheets to yield graphene-based hybrids and decomposition of the dye molecule rhodamine B.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors highlight different environmentally friendly methods for the production of graphene from graphite oxide have emerged, which are based on solvothermal and electrochemical processes, as well as on the use of green reductants.

TL;DR: Ce-MoS2 nanosheets are efficient catalysts for a number of model reduction reactions carried out in aqueous medium using NaBH4 as a reductant and the performance is found to be comparable to that of many noble metal-based catalysts.
