Thermal conductivity of free‐standing reduced graphene oxide films subjected to a high‐temperature treatment up 1000 °C is investigated. It found that the annealing dramatically increases in‐plane thermal conductivity, K , from ≈3 ≈61 W m −1 at room temperature. The cross‐plane ⊥ reveals an interesting opposite trend decreasing very small value ≈0.09 in annealed °C. obtained demonstrate exceptionally strong anisotropy K/K ≈ 675, which substantially larger even than high‐quality graphite....
