    摘要: Process for producing pristine graphene nanoplatelets, comprising the expansion of flakes of intercalated graphite and the collection thereof in water with formation of a dispersion in the substantial absence of surfactants, followed by an exfoliation and size reduction treatment carried out using ultrasonication of the aqueous dispersion or using high pressure homogenization thereof in a high shear homogenizer. A dispersion of pristine graphene is obtained in the form of nanoplatelets, at least 90% of which have a lateral size (x, y) from 50 to 50,000 nm and a thickness (z) from 0.34 to 50 nm, having a C/O ratio ≧100:1 and a high electrical conductivity.
