Problems solved by technology

Micromechanical exfoliation can produce high-quality graphene, but it has the disadvantages of low yield and high cost, which does not meet the requirements of industrialization and large-scale production
The preparation cost of redox method is low and easy to realize, and stable graphene suspension can be prepared, which solves the problem that graphene is not easy to disperse, and the method of gas-liquid self-assembly can produce good quality graphene sheet material (Self -Assembled Free-Standing Graphite Oxide Membrane.Adv.Mater.(2009), 21,3007-3011), but redox graphene has heteromembered rings and non-carbon-based functional groups, which limits the application of redox graphene
Invention patent "A method for preparing graphene from electrochemically swollen graphite" (application number: CN201310659172.5) adopts the method of combining solvent stripping and electrochemistry, using sodium perchlorate, aluminum nitrate, water and dimethyl carbonate as Electrolyte can be used to prepare graphene in large quantities. The disadvantage of this method is that the electrochemical stripping takes a long time, and the time taken in the examples reaches 48-72h
