6 FAQs about [Expanded graphite sheet hydrogen energy storage]
What is thermally expanded graphite?
Thermally expanded graphite (TEG) is a vermicular-structured carbon material that can be prepared by heating expandable graphite up to 1150 °C using a muffle or tubular furnace.
How to expand graphite sheets?
First, graphite flakes, KMnO 4, acetic anhydride, and perchloric acid were mixed in a ratio of 1 : 0.5 : 1 : 0.4 (g g −1) for a few seconds and the mixture was kept in a microwave oven at 360 W for 50 s to achieve the expansion of graphite sheets.
Are graphene sheets reversible?
The graphene sheets and TEG showed appreciable cycling stability with 90–95% of coulombic efficiency after the first cycle. The obtained reversible capacities of graphene sheets were 1130 and 636 mA h g −1 at a current density of 0.2 and 1 mA cm −2 which was higher than that of TEG and natural graphite.
Can graphite powders be continuously expanded and exfoliated to produce graphene?
Here we show that if graphite powders are contained and compressed within a permeable and expandable containment system, the graphite powders can be continuously intercalated, expanded, and exfoliated to produce graphene. Our data indicate both high yield (65%) and extraordinarily large lateral size (>30 μm) in the as-produced graphene.
How do you make graphene from graphite?
There are two large-quantity methods of producing graphene from graphite: (i) The oft-used modified Hummers’ method involves extensive oxidation 15, 16, but the resulting graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets are defect-laden and electrically insulating.
Is graphene yield scalable?
Our data indicate both high yield (65%) and extraordinarily large lateral size (>30 μm) in the as-produced graphene. We also show that this process is scalable and that graphene yield efficiency depends solely on reactor geometry, graphite compression, and electrolyte transport.
