New Layered Material Could Help Develop Reduced Graphene Oxide-Based Transistors

A research team at North Carolina State University (NC State) has developed a new method for changing positively charged (p-type) reduced graphene oxide (rGO) into negatively charged (n-type) rGO. The resultant layered material can be employed to develop rGO-based transistors, which can be used in electronic devices.
