Graphical abstract: High-performance graphene nanosheets were synthesized by thermal reduction of graphene oxide under ethanol atmosphere. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy and electrical transport measurements indicate that the resulting graphene nanosheets can effectively restore its graphic structure in GO and present high mobility. Highlights: {yields} Graphene nanosheets were synthesized by reduction of GO under ethanol atmosphere. {yields} Raman and XPS results indicate the reduced graphene sheets have high-performance. {yields} Graphene sheets field-effect transistors present high mobility. -- Abstract: High-performance graphene nanosheets have been synthesized by thermal reduction of graphene oxide (GO) under ethanol atmosphere. The reduced GO nanosheets were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy and electrical transport measurements, respectively. The results indicated that the thermal reduction of GO under ethanol atmosphere can effectively remove the oxygen-containing functional groups and restore its graphic structure compared to the ones obtained using hydrazine or hydrogen. The electrical measurements indicated that the electrical mobility of single-layer graphene sheet reduced under ethanol atmosphere at 900 {sup o}C can reach 29.08 cm{sup 2} V{sup -1} S{sup -1}.
