The site‐specific interactions of polar solvents (such as tetrahydrofuran (THF)) with fluorographene oxide (FGO), leading to its defluorination, are demonstrated. Density functional theory (DFT) studies are conducted to understand the interactions of various solvents with graphene and FGO, and defluorination of FGO during its interaction with THF is demonstrated experimentally, as shown by the change in its color in THF to black.
