The Superior Dispersion of Easily Soluble Graphite

Abstract

Easily soluble expanded graphite (ESEG) is synthesized by one‐step exfoliation process using a fluorinated graphite intercalation compound (see image). Due to the severe expansion state, the ESEG obtained is sufficiently dispersed in aqueous solutions using an ordinary surfactant (SDS and SDBS) and in various organic solvents such as NMP, DMAc, DEG, toluene, DMF, and DCM.

Transparent and Electrically Conductive Films from Chemically Derived Graphene

“…In a second step that material could be dispersed in NMP and thin films were formed by filtration and a subsequent transfer process yielded thin films on the transparent substrate. In this case a conductivity of transparency of about 300 S/cm can be calculated (Lee et al, 2010). Sodium cholate was used by De et al as a surfactant for graphite and after sonication stabilized graphene and few layer graphene were obtained.…”

Surfactant‐Exfoliated Highly Dispersive Pd‐Supported Graphene Oxide Nanocomposite as a Catalyst for Aerobic Aqueous Oxidations of Alcohols

“…[29][30][31][32] The use of surfactants has been regarded as ah ighly appropriate, simple, andg reener methodology for the exfoliation of GO compared with other proposed methodologies. [32][33][34][35] For example, the use of P123, at riblockc opolymer,w as reported to lead to ar emarkable exfoliation, favoring GO dispersion. [36] The cytocompatibility of P123 has been studied for biological applications.I nterestingly,t he combination of surfactants and GO in catalytic processes has never been explored to date.…”

Multilayer graphene/chlorine-isobutene-isoprene rubber nanocomposites: the effect of dispersion

“…[14][15][16] Graphene is the two-dimensional (2-D) allotrope of carbon, composed only of sp2 carbon atoms arranged in a honeycomb structure. [17,18] In this study, multilayer graphene (MLG) is proposed as a promising new nanofiller. The specific surface area BrunauerEmmett-Teller method (BET) of this nanoparticle is 250 m 2 /g; BET is a powerful parameter to characterize the degree of exfoliation and thus the real number of layers in graphene stacks.…”
