Abstract:

Green and efficient mass production of graphene sheets with high quality and electrical conductivity is intriguing for both academic scientists and industry. Among numerous production methods suffering from complexity or harsh chemical media, direct and high-yield exfoliation of graphite in water seems to be the best choice. In this study, efforts were made to prepare high-quality and stable graphene dispersions with the highest possible concentrations through an ultrasound-assisted liquid-phase exfoliation (LPE) in water directly from two types of natural graphites. The rigorous structural, morphological and electrical analyses were conducted on both graphite and graphene samples to quantitatively identify the effect of graphite sources on the LPE yield and the quality of the graphene nanosheets produced in the presence of an ionic surfactant. The results obtained by TEM, AFM, XRD and Raman spectroscopy indicated the successful and efficient production of single and few layer graphene sheets with the remarkable concentration of 3.18[Formula: see text]mg.ml[Formula: see text] in water. Moreover, the results signified that the structural quality, electrical conductivity and production yield of the graphene layers undoubtedly depend on the structural properties of graphite source. In fact, the graphite source greatly influences the final properties and potential applications of the produced graphene layer and the results are so important for the future graphene industry.

Abstract:

Graphite (stacked graphene layers) has been modified in several ways to enhance its potential properties/utilities. One approach is to convert graphite into a unique ‘nano-graphite’ form. Nano-graphite consists of few-layered graphene, multi-layered graphene, graphite nanoplatelets, and other graphene aggregates. Graphite can be converted to nano-graphite using physical and chemical methods. Nano-graphite, similar to graphite, has been reinforced in conducting polymers/thermoplastics/rubbery matrices to develop high-performance nanocomposites. Nano-graphite and polymer/nano-graphite nanomaterials have characteristics that are advantageous over those of pristine graphitic materials. This review basically highlights the essential features, design versatilities, and applications of polymer/nano-graphite nanocomposites in solar cells, electromagnetic shielding, and electronic devices.

Abstract:

Using three natural graphites with different particle size, 35, 50 and 80 mesh, as raw materials, expandable graphites were prepared by intercalating, water-washing and drying the natural graphites. The products were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscope and Raman spectroscopy. Results show that the structure of expandable graphite is affected strongly by the particle size of natural graphite. With increasing the particle size of natural graphite, for expandable graphite, the expansion degree of graphite flakes along the c-axis and the relative ratio of intercalating agents increase, while the structural disorder increases.

Abstract:

As a novel two-dimensional carbon material, graphene has fine potential applications in the fields of electron transfer agent and supercapacitor material for its excellent electronic and optical property. However, the challenge is to synthesize graphene in a bulk quantity. In this paper, graphite oxide was prepared from natural flake graphite by Hummers’ method through liquid oxidization, and the reduced graphene oxide was obtained by chemical reduction of graphene oxide using NH3·H2O aqueous solution and hydrazine hydrate. The raw material graphite, graphite oxide, and reduced graphene oxide were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), attenuated total reflectance-infrared spectroscopy (ATR-IR), and field emission scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results indicated that the distance spacing of graphite oxide was longer than that of graphite and the crystal structure of graphite was changed. The flake graphite was oxidized to graphite oxide and lots of oxygen-containing groups were found in the graphite oxide. In the morphologies of samples, fold structure was found on both the surface and the edge of reduced graphene oxide.

Abstract:

Because the complete restoration of graphene oxide into graphene is unsuccessful, the “direct” exfoliation of graphite into graphene is still remaining challenge. Here, we report in-situ grafting of carboxylic acid-terminated hyperbranched poly(ether-ketone) (HPEK) onto the edge of graphite to afford “edge-functionalized” HPEK grafted graphite (HPEK-g-graphite). The HPEK plays as a macromolecular wedge to exfoliate graphite. The degree of exfoliation of the resultant HPEK-g-graphite was estimated by wide-angle x-ray diffraction (WAXD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Due to the macromolecular wedge effect, the resultant HPEK-g-graphite was dispersible well in common organic solvents. Hence, HPEK-g-graphite could be potentially useful for graphene-based materials.

Abstract:

The structural transformations occurring during the intercalation of lithium into disordered graphite in a working battery were studied in detail by operando X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD). By using a capillary-based micro-battery cell, it was possible to study the stacking disorder in the initial graphite as well as in lithiated graphites. The micro-battery cell was assembled in its charged state with graphite as positive electrode and metallic lithium as counter electrode. The battery was discharged until a stage II compound (LiC12) was formed. The operando XRPD data reveal that the graphitic electrode material retains a disordered nature during the intercalation process. A DIFFaX+ refinement based on the initial operando XRPD pattern shows that the initial graphite generally has an intergrown structure with domains of graphite 2H and graphite 3R. However, the average stacking sequence of the initial graphite also contains a significant concentration of AA-type stacking of the graphene sheets. DIFFaX+ was further used to refine structure models of a stage III type compound and the final stage II compound. The refinement of the stage II compound showed that it is dominated by AαAAαA-type stacking, but that it also contains a significant concentration of AαABβB-type slabs in the average stacking sequence.

Abstract:

Lignin graphene oxide was oxidized after Kraft lignin was graphitized by thermal catalytic conversion. The reduced lignin graphene oxide was derived from lignin graphene oxide through thermal reduction treatment. These Kraft lignin, lignin graphite, lignin graphene oxide, and reduced lignin graphene oxide were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, raman microscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy and thermogravimetric analysis. The results showed lignin graphite converted from Kraft lignin had fewer layers with smaller lateral size than natural graphite. Moreover, lignin graphene oxide was successfully produced from lignin graphite by an oxidation reaction with an hour-long reaction time, which has remarkably shorter reaction time than that of graphene oxide made from natural graphite. Meanwhile, this lignin-derived graphene oxide had the same XRD, FTIR and Raman peaks as graphene oxide oxidized from natural graphite. The SEM, TEM, and AFM images showed that this lignin graphene oxide with 1–3 average layers has a smaller lateral size than that of graphene oxide made from natural graphite. Moreover, the lignin graphene oxide can be reduced to reduced lignin graphene oxide to fabricate graphene-based aerogel, wire, and film for some potential applications.

Abstract:

This work studied the impact of graphene content and heat treatment on the structural changes and electrical parameters of graphite/N-doped graphene mixtures. Using photoelectron spectroscopy the appearance of two types of carbon-containing phases was detected in the visible range of the N-doped graphene samples synthesized from liquid nitrogen. The following features of the samples were shown: one typical structure of graphene (sp2C–sp2C), two atypical structures (sp3C–N and the C–O bond), and graphene components modified with nitrogen (pyridine–N, pyrrole–N, graphite–N and oxidized N–O). The dependence between the ratio of components in graphite–graphene mixtures and their electrochemical properties was found. The effect of graphite content and heat treatment on the change in the type of conductivity in a graphite–graphene mixture was determined by comparison of resistance and capacitance distribution in the frequency range of 100–900 Hz. The change of the graphite concentration in the graphene–graphite mixture allows governing the type of doping and electrical parameters of the mixtures.

Abstract:

(Si/graphite)@C and (Si/graphite/graphene)@C were synthesized by coating asphalt-cracked carbon on the surface of a Si-based precursor by spray drying, followed by heat treatment at 1000 °C under vacuum for 2h. The impact of graphene on the performance of silicon–carbon composite-based anode materials for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) was investigated. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and selected area electron diffraction (SAED) images of (Si/graphite/graphene)@C showed that the nano-Si and graphene particles were dispersed on the surface of graphite, and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) curves indicated that the content of silicon in the (Si/graphite/graphene)@C was 18.91%. More bituminous cracking carbon formed on the surface of the (Si/graphite/graphene)@C due to the large specific surface area of graphene. (Si/Graphite/Graphene)@C delivered first discharge and charge capacities of 860.4 and 782.1 mAh/g, respectively, initial coulombic efficiency (ICE) of 90.9%, and capacity retention of 74.5% after 200 cycles. The addition of graphene effectively improved the cycling performance of the Si-based anode materials, which can be attributed to the reduction of electrochemical polarization due to the good structural stability and high conductivity of graphene.

Abstract:

Functionalization of graphite is crucial for efficient and effective exfoliation to graphene. When negative charges are fixed to the edges of natural graphite, the resulting anionic graphite shows negative charging in a polar solvent. This enhanced negative charging is assumed to contribute the exfoliation of graphite during liquid-phase exfoliation (LPE). In this study, we prepared large anionic graphite flakes (~10 μm) by salt-assisted ball milling, as well as natural graphite flakes of the same size for comparison. During the LPE process, centrifugation speed and solvent type have dominant effects on graphene concentration and quality (e.g., size and thickness), so we investigated these factors for anionic graphite flakes in detail. The anionic graphite showed higher exfoliation efficiency in every type of solvent (isopropanol, methyl ethyl ketone, acetone, and water-based cosolvent) compared with the natural graphite. Monolayer graphene, with an average size of 80–200 nm, was obtained with relatively high yield (>10%) at only 3 min of sonication. The small size of graphene was due to edge fragmentation during the LPE process. The recyclability of the sediment and the characterization of the exfoliated powders for anionic graphene were also investigated.

Abstract:

Three graphite nanosheets were prepared by sonicating three expanded graphites that were formed by rapidly heating expandable graphite at 600, 800 and 1000 °C, respectively. The graphite nanosheets were characterized by scanning electron microscope. The anti-friction effects of the graphite nanosheets used as lubricating additives were investigated. The results show that the size of the graphite nanosheets decreases with increasing the temperature of expandable graphite. The graphite nanosheets have an obvious anti-friction effect, and the effect is related to the heating temperature.

Abstract:

Graphene oxide and graphite filled polyester composites were prepared by using conventional melt-mixing methods in order to improve tribological performance of polyester. It was investigated friction stability, microhardness, friction coefficient, and specific wear rate of the composites in details. It was found that the presence of graphite and graphene oxide influenced friction coefficient and wear rate of the composites. Graphene oxide decreased wear rate with increasing of test speed and graphite decreased wear rate for composite for all speeds. Tribological performance of the polyester/graphene composites is mainly attributed to bigger thermal conductivity for graphene, which can easily dissipate the heat which appears during the friction process at bigger forces. The positive influence of graphite on coefficient of friction (COF) of the composites is the result of the clivage of graphite layers during the loadings due to van der Waals weak bonds between the graphite layers.

The oxidation mechanism of vermicular graphite cast iron was studied. The oxidation reaction starts from graphites and diffused slowly. Graphites in vermicular graphite are interconnected, coral-like clusters, providing the main oxidation core and channel. The worm-like graphites on the surface are mostly oxidized and form oxide affected zones. The oxide films are composed of a loose oxide layer with the phases of Fe3O4, Fe2O3, and FeO, and a dense passivation layer with FeO and Fe2SiO4. After oxidation, pearlites in the vermicular graphite cast iron are decomposed into ferrite and cementite at high temperatures.

Abstract:

AbstractIt is shown that during low-temperature (300–500 K) intercalation of sodium atoms into thin multilayer graphene and graphite films on rhenium the first graphene layer plays the role of a trap to which atoms coming on the surface diffuse through a graphite film. The intercalation phase of the interlayer space in the graphite bulk is actively filled at a sodium atoms concentration under the first graphene layer close to the maximum possible (2 ± 0.5) × 10^14 cm^–2. This phase capacity is proportional to the graphite film thickness that can be varied in this work from one graphene layer to ~50 atomic layers. The diffusion energy E _ d of Na atoms through the graphite film was estimated to be E _ d ≈ 1.4 eV.

Abstract:

Natural graphite is a soft material that conventional milling methods fail to grind into nanoparticles. We found that adding NaCl into graphite during milling allows obtaining graphene nanoflakes of about 50[Formula: see text][Formula: see text][Formula: see text]200[Formula: see text]nm2 as evidenced by Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM). NaCl particles are substantially brittle and harder than graphite, serving as milling agents by both helping to chop graphite into smaller pieces and preventing graphite particles from agglomeration. After milling, NaCl can be easily washed away by water. Probable mechanism for exfoliation of graphene during the modified ball milling may be explained by NaCl and graphene slipping or sliding against and over each other, exfoliating the graphene particles into thin layers.

Graphene is a flat monolayer of carbon atoms tightly packed into a two-dimensional 2D honeycomb lattice. The graphene sheets in graphite interact with each other through van der Waals forces to form layered structure. The first graphene sheets were obtained by extracting monolayer sheets from the three-dimensional graphite using a technique called micromechanical cleavage in 2004 [. There are numerous attempts in the literature to produce monolayer graphene sheets by the treatment of graphite. The first work was conducted by Brodie in 1859 and GO was prepared by repeated treatment of Ceylon graphite with an oxidation mixture consisting of potassium chlorate and fuming nitric acid [. Then, in 1898, Staudenmaier produced graphite oxide (GO) by the oxidation of graphite in concentrated sulfuric acid and nitric acid with potassium chlorate [. However, this method was time consuming and hazardous. Hummers and Offeman found a rapid and safer method for the preparation of GO and in this method graphite was oxidized in water free mixture of sulfuric acid, sodium nitrate and potassium permanganate [.

The destruction of nanoparticles aggregates occurs most effectively in liquid media under the action of ultrasonic vibrations. The authors proposed the technique and designed laboratory equipment for ultrasonic treatment of the finely-dispersed graphite suspension, carried out the ultrasonic treatment (UST) of finely-dispersed graphite powder. The suspensions based on graphite with a solvent were obtained. The authors carried out the experiments on producing graphene using the graphite liquid-phase exfoliation method at the ultrasonic treatment with different ultrasonic treatment times, analyzed experimental data, and selected the UST optimal time. The paper contains the results of the study of the effect of the graphite suspension base on the degree of ultrasonic liquid-phase exfoliation of graphite. The most effective synthesis of graphene structures using UST is synthesis from graphite suspensions based on dichloroethane, benzol, and dichlorobenzene. Graphene structures’ output ratio amounts to up to 66 %. The authors developed the technology for producing polymers modified with graphene structures using ultrasonic dispersion. Based on graphene synthesized by the graphite liquid-phase exfoliation, the authors obtained nanopolymers using ultrasonic vibrations, carried out DSC measurements, and studied their strength properties. The limit strength of elastic polymers is from 1.9 to 3.6 MPa at different concentrations of graphene inclusions.

Abstract:

AbstractGraphite intercalation compounds are often prepared by flake graphite, oxidants, inorganic acids, organic acids and intercalated ions which are usually hydrogen protons between the graphene planes. They are also known as the acid-treated graphite intercalation compounds. In this work, alkaline graphite intercalation compounds were prepared by flake graphite, K2Cr2O7, concentrated H2SO4 and NaOH, and the morphology and structure were characterized by Electron microscopy and X-ray techniques. The results display that the combination of neutralisation heat and oxidation capability produced by K2Cr2O7 can break the bonds to produce the spaces between the graphene planes and hydroxyl ions also intercalate into the graphene planes to form alkaline graphite intercalation compounds in alkali solution. The morphology and structure of alkaline graphite intercalation compounds are analogous to the ones of the acid-treated graphite intercalation compounds, but the intercalated ions and the expansion volume are different. The results show that the method is an innovation.

Abstract:

Natural graphite flakes possess high theoretical thermal conductivity and can notably enhance the thermal conductive property of polymeric composites. Currently, because of weak interaction between graphite flakes, it is hard to construct a three-dimensional graphite network to achieve efficient heat transfer channels. In this study, vertically aligned and interconnected graphite skeletons were prepared with graphene oxide serving as bridge and support via freeze-casting method. Three freezing temperatures were utilized, and the resulting graphite and graphene oxide network was filled in a polymeric matrix. Benefiting from the ultralow freezing temperature of −196 °C, the network and its composite occupied a more uniform and denser structure, which lead to enhanced thermal conductivity (2.15 W m−1 K−1) with high enhancement efficiency and prominent mechanical properties. It can be significantly attributed to the well oriented graphite and graphene oxide bridges between graphite flakes. This simple and effective strategy may bring opportunities to develop high-performance thermal interface materials with great potential.

Abstract:

Discovery of graphene has enhanced attention on industrial scale production of graphene using natural graphite which involves oxidation followed by reduction processes. Aiming for the first time, mass scale production of graphite oxide from Sri Lankan vein graphite of natural purity 99.5% carbon, following an improved Hummer’s method was experimented at optimized conditions minimizing chemical, energy and time wastage. The present study further aimed at determination of pH and manganese ions on successive purification processes of graphite oxide. The X-ray diffraction spectroscopy (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) characterizations were followed for verification of products. The wastewater produced from graphite oxide preparation process was systematically tested for Mn2+ ion using Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS). XRD peaks verified the formation of graphite oxide successfully through a complete oxidation of graphite. FTIR spectrum exhibited characteristic peaks related to typical graphite oxide while SEM shows the typical morphological features. XPS analysis verified complete removal of Mn from graphite oxide after purification. AAS analysis reveals entire removal of Mn after several washing cycles using only water. The investigation concludes that even mass scale production of quality graphite oxide is possible from Sri Lankan pure vein graphite which can subsequently be used to produce precious graphene and derivatives for various high-end applications.

Chemical synthesis is cheap and easy to be tailored. Reduction of graphite oxide to form graphene nanosheets is a necessary step that determines yield, quality, chemical and surface properties of graphene nanosheets. In this report, the reduction of graphite oxides by chemical and thermal methods has been employed to convert graphite oxide synthesized by the same wet chemical method using KMnO4 and H2O2. The characterization results from the two reduction methods indicate that a combination of wet oxidation of graphite and thermal reduction method is an efficient and environmental friendly way to produce graphene.

This research studied the synthesis of graphene oxide and graphene via a low-cost manufacturing method. The process started with the chemical oxidation of commercial graphite powder into graphite oxide by modified Hummer’s method, followed by the exfoliation of graphite oxide in distilled water using the ultrasound frequency from a laboratory ultrasonic bath. Finally, the oxygen functional groups on exfoliated graphite oxide or graphene oxide were eliminated by stirring in hot distilled water at 95°C, as a replacement for highly toxic and dangerously unstable hydrazine. The results assured that stirring in hot distilled water could give the product of graphene or reduced graphene oxide. The samples were characterized by FTIR, XRD, TGA, Raman spectroscopy, SEM, and TEM methods.

Abstract:

We demonstrate an accessible and effective technique for exfoliating graphite foil and graphite powder into graphene in a water solution of inorganic salt. In our research, we report an electrochemical cathodic exfoliation in an aqueous solution of Na2SO4. After electro-exfoliation, the resulting graphene was premixed with furfuryl alcohol (FA) and an inorganic template (CaCO3 and Na2CO3). Once FA was polymerized to poly(furfuryl alcohol) (PFA), the mixture was carbonized. Carbon bridges originating in thermally-decomposed PFA joined exfoliated graphene flakes and stabilized the whole sponge-type structure after the nano-template was removed. Gases evolved at the graphite electrode (cathode) played an important role in the process of graphene-flake splitting and accelerated the change of graphite into graphene flakes. Starting graphite materials and graphene sponges were characterized using Raman spectroscopy, SEM, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), elemental analysis, and low-temperature adsorption of nitrogen to determine their structure, morphology, and chemical composition. The discovered manufacturing protocol had a positive influence on the specific surface area and porosity of the sponges. The SEM and HRTEM studies confirmed a high separation degree of graphite and different agglomeration pathways. Raman spectra were analyzed with particular focus on the intensities of ID and IG peaks; the graphene-type nature of the sponges was confirmed.

Abstract:

Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was used to study the electrical parameters of graphite-graphene systems with different mass concentrations of graphene. Graphene was synthesized using two methods of plasma arc discharge from aqueous and non-aqueous medium (water and liquid nitrogen) to determine the impact of graphite concentration, water, and heat treatment of graphene on electrical parameters (conductivity and electrostatic capacity) of the graphite-graphene mixture. The average values of active resistance and electrostatic capacity of these systems are obtained. The optimal ratio of components with high capacitance and conductivity, which was 1: 1. The influence of heat treatment adsorbed on the graphene surface of the water and mass fraction of graphite on the change of electrical parameters of the system is shown. Comparison of the values of capacity and active resistance of the samples showed that the presence of water in graphene reduces the average values of capacity relative to graphene without water by 10 times and symbolically increases the active resistance at a mass ratio of graphene to graphite 1: 3, and at a ratio of 1: 1 values are proportional. Comparison of resistance, capacitance, and charge distribution calculations in a graphite-graphene mixture in the frequency range 10–2 ÷ 103 Hz established the effect of heat treatment on increasing the values of capacitance and active resistance. Heat treatment at 2500C of graphene, synthesized from an aqueous medium, leads to an increase in the values of capacitance and conductivity, which occurs due to a different distribution of charges on the surface. Analysis of charge distribution maps shows that water adsorbed on the surface of graphene in the presence of a significant amount of graphite can be a factor in interfering with the distribution of charge carriers and significantly reduce the conductivity and electrostatic capacity of the system.

Abstract:

A conductive thermoplastic material was developed to increase the interlaminar fracture toughness and through-the-thickness conductivity of carbon-fiber-reinforced plastics materials. A polyamide 12 nonwoven fabric was coated with graphene/graphite particles in a solution of hexane, water, and graphite particles. The graphite powders were exfoliated in the sonication bath and the resulting layers of graphene resided at the interface of the immiscible solvents, where the graphene layers/graphite simultaneously infused into the polyamide 12. The sonication time and graphite content were optimized to maximize the surface conductivity of conductive polyamide 12 fabric. The presence of pristine graphene flakes and graphite on the polyamide 12 fabric was confirmed by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The dry fabric preform was interleaved with the conductive polyamide 12 and the composite laminates were manufactured by a vacuum-assisted resin transfer molding process. The resulting composite laminate resulted in a significant increase in Mode I and Mode II fracture toughness up to 42% and 141%, respectively, and a decrease in the volume resistivity from 100 MΩm to 402 Ωm.

Abstract:

Kink deformation is often observed in materials with laminated layers. Graphite composed of stacked graphene layers has the unique laminated structure of carbon nanomaterials. In this study, we performed the interlayer deformation of graphite under compression using a simulation of molecular dynamics and proposed a differential geometrical method to evaluate the kink deformation. We employed “mean curvature” for the representativeness of the geometrical properties to explore the mechanism of kink deformation and the mechanical behaviors of graphite in nanoscale. The effect of the number of graphene layers and the lattice chirality of each graphene layer on kink deformation and stress–strain diagrams of compressed graphite are discussed in detail. The results showed that kink deformation occurred in compressed graphite when the strain was approximately equal to 0.02, and the potential energy of the compressed graphite proportionately increased with the increasing compressive strain. The proposed differential geometric method can not only be applied to kink deformation in nanoscale graphite, but could also be extended to solving and predicting interlayer deformation that occurs in micro- and macro-scale material structures with laminated layers.

Abstract:

N-doped (NrGO) and non-doped (rGO) graphenic materials are prepared by oxidation and further thermal treatment under ammonia and inert atmospheres, respectively, of natural graphites of different particle sizes. An extensive characterization of graphene materials points out that the physical properties of synthesized materials, as well as the nitrogen species introduced, depend on the particle size of the starting graphite, the reduction atmospheres, and the temperature conditions used during the exfoliation treatment. These findings indicate that it is possible to tailor properties of non-doped and N-doped reduced graphene oxide, such as the number of layers, surface area, and nitrogen content, by using a simple strategy based on selecting adequate graphite sizes and convenient experimental conditions during thermal exfoliation. Additionally, the graphenic materials are successfully applied as electrocatalysts for the demanding oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). Nitrogen doping together with the starting graphite of smaller particle size (NrGO325-4) resulted in a more efficient ORR electrocatalyst with more positive onset potentials (Eonset = 0.82 V versus RHE), superior diffusion-limiting current density (jL, 0.26V, 1600rpm = −4.05 mA cm−2), and selectivity to the direct four-electron pathway. Moreover, all NrGOm-4 show high tolerance to methanol poisoning in comparison with the state-of-the-art ORR electrocatalyst Pt/C and good stability.

Full text

Abstract:

Effect of hydrogen-charging was investigated with respect to the tensile properties of three types of cast irons: JIS FCD400, FCD450 and FCD700. In this study, hydrogen charging led to a marked ductility loss in all the cast irons. The thermal desorption spectroscopy and the hydrogen microprint technique revealed that, in the hydrogen-charged specimens, most of solute hydrogen was diffusive and mainly segregated at graphite, graphite/matrix interface zone and pearlite. In the fracture process of non-charged specimen, neighboring graphites were interconnected with each other mainly by ductile dimple fracture. On the other hand, in the fracture process of hydrogen-charged specimen, the graphites were interconnected by cracks. The difference in the fracture morphology between the non-charged and the hydrogen-charged specimens is attributed to the presence of diffusive hydrogen in graphite and graphite/matrix interface. During early stage of fracture process in hydrogen-charged specimen, the interspace between graphite and matrix is filled with hydrogen gas, which leads to the ductility loss of matrix in the vicinity of graphite. Even after the initiation of crack from graphite, hydrogen is continuously outgassed from graphite and supplied to the crack tip. Therefore, concerning the hydrogen effect on the strength of cast irons, a role of subsurface graphite as a “local hydrogen supplier” should be taken into consideration.

In particular, the following are proposed: a new method for two-stage dosing of graphite powder; new design of rod drum mill for mechanical activation of graphite; a new design of the rotary apparatus with compound movable blades, providing an increase in shear forces acting on graphite particles in the process of exfoliation. The kinetics of the exfoliation process has been studied.

Abstract:

Graphite nanoplatelets (GNPs), a functional 2D nanofiller for polymer nanocomposites, utilize natural graphite as a raw material due to its stacked graphene layers and outstanding material properties upon successful exfoliation into nano-thick sheets. However, the increasing demand for natural graphite in many industrial applications necessitates the use of graphite from waste resources. We synthesized GNPs from waste chicken feathers (WCFs) by graphitizing carbonized chicken feathers and exfoliating the graphitic carbon by high-speed homogenization and sonication. We then separated GNP from non-exfoliated carbon by centrifugation. This paper describes the morphology, chemical, and crystalline properties of WCF and its carbon derivatives, as well as the structural features of WCF-derived carbons. We obtained GNPs that have a 2D structure with huge variations in particle size and thickness. The GNP shows the presence of carbonyl groups, which are mostly attached at the edges of the stacked graphene sheets. Defects in the GNP are higher than in graphene synthesized from direct exfoliation of natural graphite but lower than in graphene oxide and reduced graphene oxide. To produce GNP of high quality from WCF, restacking of graphene sheets and concentration of carbonyls must be minimized.

Abstract:

Thermoplastics when they become thermally conductive, have a great potential to be used in thermal management applications due to their low cost, lightweight, and flexibility. Here, synthetic graphite and graphene are used as thermally conductive fillers to fabricate Polyphenylene Sulfide- (PPS) based composite materials with high thermal conductivity. Graphene and graphite added PPS composites were manufactured by using a twinscrew extruder and injection molding machine. Physical, thermal, mechanical, and morphological properties of the composites were investigated by several characterization methods including thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, thermomechanical analysis, scanning electron microscopy, thermal diffusivity measurement, and tensile and flexural tests, The in-plane and through-plane thermal conductivity coefficient of graphene (5 wt. %) loaded synthetic graphite (40 wt. %)/PPS composites are greatly improved to 26.45 and 5.02 W/mK, respectively compared to that of neat PPS. The outstanding in-plane thermal conductivity of graphene loaded graphite/PPS composites is attributed to the formation of an effective thermal conductive pathway due to the alignment of the layered structure of graphene and graphite fillers in the flow direction.

The relationship between microtexture and crystallinity of highly crystallized graphites with the residual resistivity ratio ρ300K/ρ4.2K of 3.45–5.50 was investigated. The graphite crystals studied were kish graphite (KG), highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG), and highly crystallized graphite films prepared from carbonized aromatic polyimide films. The study was made by the observations of an electron channeling pattern and electron channeling contrast image (ECI) under scanning electron microscope and the measurements of x-ray diffraction, magnetoresistance, and Hall coefficient. The values of the mean free path of the carriers λ, which approximates the mean crystal grain size, were estimated to be 2.6–6.1 μm from the magnetoresistance at 4.2 K for the highly crystallized graphites. The values of the average crystal grain diameter D in the basal plane evaluated from ECI were several hundred microns or more for KG, 60 μm for HOPG, and 6 and 12 μm for the graphite films. The difference between the values of λ and D for each crystallized graphite was discussed in relation to other results obtained.

Abstract:

The solvent-based exfoliation of graphite, including into graphene and/or graphene-like platelets, is an important challenge. Here, we report a “direct” Friedel-Crafts acylation reaction between graphite and 4-ethylbenzoic acid (EBA) to afford edge-functionalized graphite (EFG). Unlike, for example, graphite oxide (GO), the functionalization is at the edges of the graphite and thus, the basal plane of individual layers in EFG is not functionalized. The EFG can be easily dispersed and exfoliated in common organic solvents to concentrations as high as 0.8 mg/mL. Large-are uniform films can be produced by solution-casting such dispersions on substrates and conductivities as high as 125 S/cm can be obtained by subsequent heat treatment at 900 °C under argon atmosphere. Hence, a few layers graphene obtained from annealing under argon atmosphere show the potential to replace Indium tin oxide (ITO).

Abstract:

In this work, the Li ordering and its influence on Li intercalation and plating on graphite, bilayer, and single-layer graphene are investigated by first-principles calculation with two-dimensional cluster expansion and van der Waals corrections. The results show that Li intercalation has a multistage feature for graphite and bilayer graphene at Li concentrations from C2 to LiC6. Beyond LiC6, Li atoms are crowded in graphite and bilayer graphene, resulting in a negative discharge voltage. The calculated overpotential indicates Li plating easily happens on graphite but is unlikely on bilayer graphene. For single-layer graphene, Li atoms uniformly cover the graphene surface from C2 to LiC4 with the presence of voltage stages, while forming an atomic island at a higher Li concentration. Our findings not only give a good recount on recent Li plating phenomena in Li-ion batteries but also provide a rationale for circumventing those side reactions on graphene and its variants.

Abstract:

The robust development of electric vehicles has driven a surging decommission stream of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) owing to their limited service life. The recycling of spent LIBs has become an urgent and essential task for the sustainable development of the LIB industry. However, the prevailing recycling methods focus only on recycling valuable metal, whilst the graphite anode materials are usually discarded or burned as fuels, leading to great waste of valuable carbon material. A facile strategy to obtain value-added products in an efficient manner is of great significance for the recycling of spent graphite. As graphite has excellent microwave absorption capability and electrical conductivity, microwave radiation on spent graphite can induce a Joule heat–discharge–plasma coupled effect, leading to a rapid heating process, especially when discharge occurs, exhibiting a thermal shock effect with the generation of a large number of high-energy electrons and active materials. This special feature facilitates microwave heating that is tailored for assisting the removal of impurities, structure repair, and graphite intercalation and exfoliation in an efficient manner. Therefore, different from the conventional graphite recycling route that is associated with energy/solution-intensive processes, this paper reviews the progress on microwave-assisted removal of impurities, repair of damaged graphite structure, and innovatively discusses the breakthroughs in microwave-assisted preparation of graphite intercalation compounds, expanded graphite, graphene and graphene-based materials, and porous graphene, with an aim to provide a scientific reference for the value-added resource utilization of spent graphite and preparation of new energy storage materials.
