The invention relates to a 
graphene for an electrical double-layer 
capacitor and a preparation method of the 
graphene. The preparation method of the 
graphene includes the steps that (1) 
graphite, 
potassium nitrate and 
potassium permanganate are weighted, mixed evenly and put into a reaction kettle, and concentrated 
sulfuric acid is weighed and added to the reaction kettle; (2) the reaction kettle in the step (1) is placed in a 
thermostat and is subjected to low temperature constant temperature oxidizing reaction, medium temperature constant temperature oxidizing reaction and high temperature constant temperature oxidizing reaction; (3) oxidizing agents are added to products obtained after reaction in the step (2) is finished, oxidizing reaction is conducted, and then products are subjected to acid 
pickling, washing and 
drying; (4) the products obtained in the step (3) are subjected to puffing and reduction in the 
air atmosphere, or are subjected to puffing and reduction in the high temperature 
inert atmosphere, and end products are obtained. The graphene can be used as 
electrode materials of the electrical double-layer 
capacitor or conductive additives of a 
lithium ion battery, the amount of 
layers of the graphene is less, the 
crystal structure is complete, the size is large, bend and drape exist in the 
microstructure, the agglomerated degree is small, the specific 
capacitance value is high, the process is simple, and the graphene is suitable for large scale production.
