1. A method of producing thin graphene nanoplatelet precursor, comprising the steps of:
(A) providing a carbon precursor and a filling material, and mixing the carbon precursor with the filling material by ball milling, planetary rotation mixing, or high speed homogenous mixing to form a uniform mixture, wherein the carbon precursor is made of a polymer material selected from a first collection of petroleum pitch, coke tar pitch, mesophase pitch, phenolic resin, furan resin, epoxy resin and polyimide, or the carbon precursor is made of any mixture of the first collection, and wherein the filling material is one selected from a second collection of petroleum coke, coal coke, natural graphite, thermally cracked graphite, carbon nanotube, carbon fiber, mesophase carbon microsphere, vapor grown carbon fiber, graphite fiber and artificial graphite powder, or the filling material is any mixture of the second collection; (B) performing a forming process of the uniform mixture to obtain a composite material, wherein the forming process is one selected from oil pressing, mold pressing, squeezing, extrusion, injection, spinning, and melt spinning forming process; and (C) performing a heat treatment of the composite material in a gaseous environment to obtain a thin graphene nanoplatelet precursor. |
