Abstract: | Chemically derived graphene oxide (GO) possesses a unique set of properties arising from oxygen functional groups that are introduced during chemical exfoliation of graphite. Large‐area thin‐film deposition of GO, enabled by its solubility in a variety of solvents, offers a route towards GO‐based thin‐film electronics and optoelectronics. The electrical and optical properties of GO are strongly dependent on its chemical and atomic structure and are tunable over a wide range via chemical engineering. In this Review, the fundamental structure and properties of GO‐based thin films are discussed in relation to their potential applications in electronics and optoelectronics. |
