Many unique properties of graphene oxide (GO) strongly depend on the oxygenated functional groups and morphologies. Here, the photoreaction process is demonstrated to be very useful to control these factors. We report the fast, simple production of nanopores in porous GO via photoreaction in O-2 under UV irradiation at room temperature. Quantitative analysis using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy showed that nanopores were produced in areas of oxygenated groups (sp(3) carbon bonds), creating porous reduced graphene oxide (rGO). The photoreaction mechanism was proposed on the basis of changes in the number of oxygenated groups. Proton conduction occurred the basal plane of epoxide groups in virgin GO, even at low humidity, and at carboxyl groups for porous rGO at high humidity. Thus, GO and rGO samples with various morphologies, oxygenated functional groups, and conduction types can be easily fabricated by controlling the photoreaction conditions.
