    摘要: Provided is a method of producing isolated graphene sheets directly from a biomass, the method including: (A) providing a biomass in a liquid state, solution state, solid state, or semi-solid state; (B) heat treating the biomass and, concurrently or sequentially, using chemical or mechanical means to form graphene domains dispersed in a disordered matrix of carbon or hydrocarbon molecules, wherein the graphene domains are each composed of from 1 to 30 planes of hexagonal carbon atoms or fused aromatic rings and, in the situations wherein there are 2-30 planes in a graphene domain, having an inter-graphene space between two planes of hexagonal carbon atoms or fused aromatic rings no less than 0.4 nm; and (C) separating and isolating these planes of hexagonal carbon atoms or fused aromatic rings to recover graphene sheets from said disordered matrix.

    摘要: Disclosed are a porous graphene member having through-holes formed therein, a method for manufacturing the porous graphene member, and an apparatus for manufacturing the porous graphene member using the method. The method comprises: introducing a carbon source and a substitution reaction source into a deposition furnace; thermally decomposing the carbon source and the substitution reaction source simultaneously to generate carbon atoms and substitution atoms, respectively, wherein the carbon atoms are deposited on a substrate present within the deposition furnace to form a graphene film consisting of a monoatomic layer structure, and during the deposition of carbon atoms, the substitution atoms not only interfere with covalent bonds between the carbon atoms to cause crystal defects, but also substitute for parts of the carbon atoms to in situ form through-holes in the graphene, thereby creating the porous graphene member; and releasing the porous graphene member from the substrate.

    摘要: A method of producing isolated graphene sheets from a layered graphite, comprising: (a) forming an alkali metal ion-intercalated graphite compound by an electrochemical intercalation which uses a liquid solution of an alkali metal salt dissolved in an organic solvent as both an electrolyte and an intercalate source, layered graphite material as an anode material, and a metal or graphite as a cathode material, and wherein a current is imposed upon a cathode and an anode at a current density for a duration of time sufficient for effecting the electrochemical intercalation of alkali metal ions into interlayer spacing; and (b) exfoliating and separating hexagonal carbon atomic interlayers (graphene planes) from the alkali metal ion-intercalated graphite compound using ultrasonication, thermal shock exposure, exposure to water solution, mechanical shearing treatment, or a combination thereof to produce isolated graphene sheets.
