Reduced graphene oxide with sparse residual oxygen groups.

## What the template shows

- GO after chemical or thermal reduction: most oxygen removed, sp² network largely restored
- Reduced with hydrazine, NaBH₄, ascorbic acid or by heating (thermal annealing)
- Conductive again, though defects and leftover oxygen keep it below pristine graphene
- Used in electrodes, supercapacitors, sensors and conductive inks

Drawn with 101 atoms, 1 shape – every one editable in MolDraw.

## How to use this template

1. Press **Edit in MolDraw**. The template opens on the canvas of the free MolDraw editor.
2. Change anything: move structures, edit atoms and labels, recolour highlights or delete what you do not need.
3. Add your own structures, arrows and text next to it, or combine several templates on one page.
4. Export the drawing as PNG, SVG or PDF for slides, worksheets, theses and papers.

## Frequently asked questions

### Is the Reduced graphene oxide (rGO) template free?

Yes. The Reduced graphene oxide (rGO) template is one of the free MolDraw templates: open it in the editor or download it from this page as SVG or PNG and use it in your slides, worksheets and notes.

### Can I edit the Reduced graphene oxide (rGO) template?

Yes. It opens as an ordinary MolDraw drawing, so every structure, arrow, label and colour can be changed, and you can add your own content around it.

### Is the chemistry checked?

Every structure is checked with RDKit and every curly arrow passes MolDraw’s electron-flow audit. Report anything that looks wrong from the Feedback button in the app.

### What is the difference between GO and rGO?

Graphene oxide carries oxygen groups (epoxides, hydroxyls, carboxylic acids) on the carbon sheet; reduction removes most of them to give reduced graphene oxide, which conducts much better.
