Graphene has attracted increasing attention because of its interesting properties. In this study, graphene was prepared from graphite by a very simple and easy process. The two-step protocol involves conversion of graphite to graphene oxide (GO) by oxidation, and subsequent reduction of GO to graphene. The structures and properties of the obtained GO and graphene were characterized via X-ray diffraction, and Raman, NMR, UV.vis absorption, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic techniques. The morphologies of these products were observed via field emission scanning electron microscopy. The preparation protocol is simple, easy, environmental friendly, i.e., nontoxic, and the yield of graphene is high.
