you can use ammonia solution depending upon quantity of GO. It takes quite time but Slow reduction by ammonia solution prevents aggregation of graphene sheets. In addition to that you can use thermal reduction (just heating) as suggested by Vanesa; NaBH4, ascorbic acid, (@Bihag)
I have used hydrazine and ammonia for reduction graphene oxide, you can use NaBH4 after reduction by hydrazine to facilitate the reduction to groups epoxide which not was reduced by hidrazine. See methods above.
There are several methods to reduce GO to graphene. Even you can reduce it with hydroquinone, flash light of a digicam (JACS Comm), or tea (J. Mater Chem.) or sunlight!!. But I think its better not to reduce it hydrogen gas at high temperature, as hydrogen has a strong affinity to carbon, and it may lead to the formation of graphane(hydrogenated graphene). Depending on your requirement you can choose the reducing agent. For references, you may see: arXiv:1207.1995 [cond-mat.mes-hall]
Graphene oxide (GrOX) & graphite oxide (GOX) are subjects with long story. Since Hummer method, GOX is originated from graphite oxidation in nitric-sulfuric acid via strong oxidants such as potassium permanganate. Recently preoxidation with persulfates improved oxidation. GOX has been seen as potential candidate for intercalated graphite with Li or other metals for batteries, supercap to name few. Otherwise first applications is in sealing at high pressure - high temp. GrOX derive from GOX as 1 up to few layers depending of method of oxidation. GrOX is seen as precursor for graphene against scotch tape, CVD or other methods less productive but good to redisign nanocomposites or chemo/biosensors. What is GroX-?? an large aromatic carbon structures decorated with functional groups :-OH, -CO, -COO, -COOH ( to name few). Classical chemistry associate this with humic acid ( for example) or similar. To reduce GrOX to Graphene each one find appropriate solution: hydrogen at moderate temp, hydrazine, tetraborohydride ( leaves boron oxide as impurities), ascorbic acid ( partial reductant) quinone, whatever you have in mind. Each one has pros and cons. Flash light in UV or flash heating work well ( you will get domino effect). Light scribe ( laser inscription by local heating) afford you to design small garphene circuits. GrOX by its functional groups makes it versatile to attach other functions with expectations to get an electrical signal ( hard to work). Anyway is good for supercap in combination with semiconducting polymers.
In conclusion your reductant is most appropriate function of your application. Otherwise we can tackle long time. By the way why graphene are so beautiful as support catalyst for fuel cells and all papers finish only with electrochemical characterization and no one gives a fuel cell based on graphene???????
thank you mr.stamatin,i plan to make a nanofluid with high quality nanosheets of graphene,CVD or mechanical cleavage or epitaxial growth are costly and have difficulties for industrial applications so i decided to find a better reduction method(better than reduction with hydrazine) leading to produce high quality , monolayer of graphene im looking for a safe,.imflamabe method
Recently copper metal nanoparticles are used as a reducing agent in preparation of graphene. Pls see attachment. Authors claim that the method the used is eco-friendly and facile
Please, check this: Vitamin C Is an Ideal Substitute for Hydrazine in the Reduction of Graphene Oxide Suspensions, DOI: 10.1021/jp100603h. It is the best in terms of safety!
