Graphene Entrainment in a Host

摘要

This is generally a method of producing graphene-containing suspensions of flakes of high quality graphene/graphite oxides and method of producing graphene/graphite oxides. Both the exfoliating graphite into flakes and oxidizing the graphite flakes and the preparation and suspension of the flakes can be done with high volume production and at a low cost.

1. A method of making a graphene suspension, comprising:
preparing graphene flakes with a surface area to thickness ratio greater than 300 Angstroms, and thickness of less than 160 Angstroms, wherein the graphene flakes have no significant physical surface distortions and have a surface polarity; preparing a polar or nonpolar fluid having the same polarity as said graphene flakes; and suspending said graphene flakes in said fluid by mixing until the suspension is substantially uniform.
