Toluene or any other alkanes are not good solvents to disperse rGO... try NMP or DMF.or DMSO

Farooq Adil Syed

Dispersion of graphene can be done using various methods, probe sonication will work best for situation like yours wherein you are using an organic solvent. However we have been successful in reducing graphene using plant extract and have got a good dispersion. you may read our article "Nanoscale Research Letters (2015) 10:281"

Soliman I. El-Hout

rGO contains low percent of oxygen groups so, it is better to use good polar solvent with long time of sonication
