Ultrasonic exfoliation of graphite oxide and subsequent chemical reduction has been used to prepare reduced graphene oxide (rGO) [17]. This is a viable method for... 

Graphene can be prepared using four different methods [183]. The first is chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and epitaxial growth, such as the decomposition of ethylene on nickel surfaces. The second is the micromechanical exfoliation of graphite. The third method is epitaxial growth on electrically insulating surfaces, such as SiC, and the fourth is the solution-based reduction of graphene oxide (Fig. 31.17).

A number of methods have been developed for the synthesis of the Au NPs on the graphene oxide (GO)/rGO nanosheets such as chemical reduction, electrochemical deposition, photo-assisted reduction, sonochemical methods, and microwave irradiation [19-24].
