AB  - Herein we present a green and facile approach to the successful reduction of 
      graphene oxide (GO) materials using molten halide flux at 370  degrees C. GO materials 
      have been synthesized using a modified Hummers method and subsequently reduced 
      for periods of up to 8 h. Reduced GO (rGO) flakes have been characterized using 
      X-ray-diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy 
      (XPS), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and Fourier transform infrared 
      spectroscopy (FTIR), all indicating a significantly reduced amount of 
      oxygen-containing functionalities on the rGO materials. Furthermore, impressive 
      electrical conductivities and electrochemical capacitances have been measured for 
      the rGO flakes, which, along with the morphology determined from scanning 
      electron microscopy, highlight the role of surface corrugation in these rGO 
      materials.
