• to sp3. This can lead to a band gap opening [3] and other interesting features [5]. To study such functional groups, along with intrinsic defects, is also vital for the spectroscopic analysis of reduced graphene oxide [6][7], which in turn is a promising avenue to the mass production of graphene

• opposite conclusions, because the polarization of the carbons in the DFT calculation prevents the detection of the oxygen atom in the carbon network, whereas this should be possible according to the IAM result. This may be the reason why we did not detect residual oxygen atoms in reduced graphene oxide [26
