There are lots of articles that describe the dispersion of RGO. But most of them are by covalent functionalization. Though it enhances dispersion but degrades the properties of the material. Hence please suggest.
Thanking you in advance
Depending on the solvent you use, you will get different dispersions of GO and rGO, which will differ on the GO and rGO concentration, the distribution of the lateral sizes of flakes in the solutions and also the distribution of single, bi and few layers of GO and rGO. GO solutions with large flakes will have different electric properties compared with smaller flakes, when deposited on a substrate. Take a look at:

Since its reduced, its more towards graphene. Try dichloromethane. It has been working well for us. Also, it depends on what concentration you want graphene dispersed. There are a lot of articles out there..
You can chechk our latest publication ''Dispersion behaviour of graphene oxide and reduced graphene oxide''
but i am confused whether it will alter the electronic properties of graphene.
pls reply

try ethylene glycol. it has been used for dispersion both GO and rGO.
