چکیده

We report a simple, practical scalable procedure to produce few-layer graphene sheets using ball-milling. Commercially available melamine can be efficiently used to exfoliate graphite and generate concentrated water or DMF dispersions.

A study of the synthetic methods and properties of graphenes.

Graphenes with varying number of layers can be synthesized by using different strategies. Thus, single-layer graphene is prepared by micromechanical cleavage, reduction of single-layer graphene oxide, chemical vapor deposition and other methods. Few-layer graphenes are synthesized by conversion of nanodiamond, arc discharge of graphite and other methods. In this article, we briefly overview the...

Edge-carboxylated graphene nanosheets via ball milling.

Low-cost, high-yield production of graphene nanosheets (GNs) is essential for practical applications. We have achieved high yield of edge-selectively carboxylated graphite (ECG) by a simple ball milling of pristine graphite in the presence of dry ice. The resultant ECG is highly dispersable in various solvents to self-exfoliate into single- and few-layer (≤ 5 layers) GNs. These stable ECG (or G...

The Electrical Property of Large Few Layer Graphene Flakes Obtained by Microwaves Assisted Exfoliation of Expanded Graphite

Few layer graphene (FLG) was synthesized by -wave assisted exfoliation of expanded graphite in toluene with an overall yield from c.a. 7% to 20%. A significant difference in the absorption of -waves by the expanded graphite and toluene allowed a rapid heating of the medium. The number of FLG sheets varies from 3 to 12, while the lateral size of the sheets exceeds few ms. The obtained FLG exhibi...

Sonochemical preparation of functionalized graphenes.

A convenient sonochemical method is described for the preparation of polystyrene functionalized graphenes starting from graphite flakes and a reactive monomer, styrene. Ultrasonic irradiation of graphite in styrene results in the mechanochemical exfoliation of graphite flakes to single-layer and few-layer graphene sheets combined with functionalization of the graphene with polystyrene chains. T...

Production of high quality single- or few-layered graphene by solid exfoliation of graphite in the presence of ammonia borane.

A solid exfoliation method is developed for the synthesis of single- or few-layered (≤5 layers) graphene by ball milling of graphite with ammonia borane. Nearly quantitative yield in which ca. 25% is single-layered graphene can be obtained. We believe that this highly efficient method will offer a facile approach for the preparation of high quality and large quantity graphene.
