In films of graphene oxide and its thermally reduced derivatives by X-ray diffraction spatially extended structures
of nanoscale π-conjugated sections and/or fragments of a carbon skeleton, including their two-dimensional electrically
coupled percolation networks, were revealed. The dependences of the main structural characteristics of these formations
on the annealing temperature of graphene oxide were studied. The conclusion is drawn about the potential suitability of some of the found nanostructured graphene oxide phases for the formation of percolation networks of nanographenes with predominantly zigzag edges exhibiting non-trivial quantum properties of network elements.
