Concerning the reactivity of graphene oxide, the main effort is directed toward the regeneration of an sp -conjugated graphene system to recover part of the characteristic properties of graphene, mainly conductivity (14CSR291).

In addition to its hquid crystalline phase behavior, graphene has been demonstrated as a transparent electrode in LCD devices and a potential substitute for metal oxide electrodes [132]. It has been found that the electrooptical characteristics of such devices are superior in nature. In a similar fashion GO has been utilized in its reduced form in LC cells to study the field-induced reorientation of a nematic LC [133, 134]. These preliminary results are very encouraging for future LC devices. The advantages of graphene compared to conventionally used metal oxide electrodes in terms of low resistivity, high transparency and chemical stability hold great promise for large scale exploitation as transparent conductive electrodes.
