en گروه سرامیک Ceramic Materials and Engineering Research Paper Research Paper In this paper we have investigated the physical properties of reduced graphene oxide (RGO) thin films prepared at various substrate temperatures of 230, 260, 290, 320 and 350 ^oC using spray pyrolysis technique. We have compared these films from various viewpoints, including structural, morphological, optical, electrical and thermos-electrical properties. XRD analysis showed a phase shift from graphene oxide (GO) to RGO due to elevate the substrate temperature from 200 ^oC to higher temperatures. FESEM images of RGO thin films reveal that a stacked image of irregular and folding nanosheets, and rod-like features at temperatures below and above 290 ^oC; respectively. Optical studies showed that the layers have a relatively high absorption coefficient (&sim;0.8&times;10⁴ to 1.7&times;10⁴ cm^&minus;1) in the visible range, with an optical band gap of 1.67&ndash;1.88 eV. The Hall effect data showed that all samples have a <em>p</em>-type conductivity with a hole concentration of &sim;10¹⁵ cm^&minus;3, and sheet resistance values of about 10⁶ &Omega;/sq, in agreement with previous reports. The thermoelectric measurements revealed that with increasing applied temperature gradient between the two ends of the samples, the thermoelectric electromotive force (emf) of the prepared RGO thin films increases.
