Microfluidization of Graphite and Formulation of Graphene-Based Conductive Inks
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report the exfoliation of graphite in aqueous solutions under high shear rate [∼ 108 s-1] turbulent flow conditions, with a 100% exfoliation yield. The material is stabilized without centrifugation at concentrations up to 100 g/L using carboxymethylcellulose sodium salt to formulate conductive printable inks. The sheet resistance of blade coated films is below ∼2Ω/□. This is a simple and scalable production route for conductive inks for large-area printing in flexible electronics.

Rational and practical exfoliation of graphite using well-defined poly(3-hexylthiophene) for the preparation of conductive polymer/graphene composite
Processing and manipulation of highly conductive pristine graphene in large quantities are still major challenges in the practical application of graphene for electric device. In the present study, we report the liquid-phase exfoliation of graphite in toluene using well-defined poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) to produce a P3HT/graphene composite. We synthesize and use regioregular P3HT with contr...

We present a general study on a high performance supercapacitor based on intercalated reduced graphene oxide with carbon black nanoparticles. Graphene oxide sheets were synthesized by oxidation and exfoliation of natural graphite and were reduced using hydroiodic acid in the presence of carbon black nanoparticles. Graphene paper was fabricated by one-step procedure via simultaneous reducing and...
متن کاملSynergy of oxygen and a piranha solution for eco- friendly production of highly conductive graphene dispersions†
A variety of strategies for the synthesis of solution processable graphene sheets has been developed so far. However, no approach has been reported to directly produce highly conductive, low-oxygen-containing graphene sheets without relying on toxic reagents and metal containing compounds and without generating toxic by-products. With an aim of developing such an eco-friendly approach, for the ...
