- Reduction of graphene oxide is the most promising and efficient route for producing graphene owing to its cost-effectiveness and scalability for mass production. This paper presents a novel reduction mechanism by green tea polyphenol, an environmentally friendly and effective agent, that produces reduced graphene oxide with low toxicity, making it particularly attractive for biomedical applications.
