The sorption of⁴He by graphene oxide powders thermally reduced at T = 200, 300, 500, 700, 900 ºC has been
 investigated in the interval 1.5–290 K. The measured dependence of the quantity of sorbed helium upon the reduction
 temperature shows up as a nonmonotonic curve. The highest quantities of helium were sorbed by the
 samples reduced at T = 300 and 900 ºC. It is assumed that the thermal reduction of graphite oxide by heating it to
 300 ºC causes evaporation of the water intercalated in the spacings of the carbon layers, this results in exfoliation
 of the graphene planes, which enhances the sorptive capacity. Heating the samples to 900 ºC generates numerous
 defects in the carbon planes, as a result, the interlayer spacings become accessible for sorption, which enhances
 the sorptive capacity.
