Abstract: This review documents our contributions to the synthesis of chemically-modified graphene (CMG) materials. We focus on methods for the preparation of homogenous colloidal suspensions of CMGs and procedures for the chemical reduction of graphene oxide, along with techniques for the structural elucidation of graphene oxide and reduced graphene oxide materials. We conclude with an outline of the persisting chemical challenges and current limitations of practical applications.
