40. An estimate of graphene domain size can also be obtained by comparing the intensity of D and G peaks of the Raman spectrum of the RGO sheets using the empirical Tunistra-Koening relation [F. Tuinstra and J. L. Koenig, J. Chem. Phys. JCPSA6 0021-9606 10.1063/1.1674108 53, 1126 (1970)]. We obtained a mean domain size of ∼4 nm from our Raman data. See Ref. 6
