GRAPHITE HAVING EDGES FUNCTIONALIZED BY A MECHANICAL-CHEMICAL TECHNIQUE, AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING SAME

摘要

Disclosed is an edge-functionalized graphitic material manufactured by using a mechanochemical process. The edge-functionalized graphitic material is manufactured by pulverizing graphite in the presence of a variety of atmospheric agents in the form of gas phase, liquid phase, or solid phase. The edge-functionalized graphitic material, which is a precursor applicable into various fields, is expected to replace the prior art oxidized graphite.
