Reduced graphene oxide (rGO) has found tremendous application due to its versatile and tunable properties. We have prepared rGO by green hydrothermal method without using any toxic additives that comprise of ~ 5-14 layers with an average interlayer distance of 3.5 Å. Device with Ag-rGO-Ag configuration has been fabricated that exhibits excellent stable and reproducible photoresponse properties ranging from UV-VIS (ultraviolet-visible) to near IR (infrared) region. Responsivity and external quantum efficiency (EQE) values are as high as 0.71, 0.733, 0.230 and 0.313A.W-1 and 57, 85, 88 and 120% using 1550, 1064, 632 and 325 nm wavelength, respectively. We have shown that the temperature-dependent resistance follows a well-definite exponential behavior which indicates potential application of rGO as temperature sensor. Overall, these results suggest that rGO can be a potential material for low-cost, environment-friendly and efficient broadband photodetector and temperature sensor. Also,
