Dispersible graphene is prepared through the complete reduction of graphene oxide, which is prepared by the modified Hummer’s method. It should be noted that the graphene prepared by the usual method is easy to form the graphene aggregation. It is very hard, even its volume is much smaller than its parent material graphite. The resulting graphene agglomerate is not soluble or redispersable in water or other polar solvents, making further processing difficult. Our product Dispersible graphene overcome the challenge, and it can be redispersed in many solvents, such as in water, alcohol, acetone, DMF etc. It should be noted that the product we supply is the single-layer (>80%) dispersible graphene, not graphene nanoplate.Water-dispersible graphene was prepared by reacting graphite oxide and 6-amino-4-hydroxy-2-naphthalenesulfonic acid (ANS). X-ray diffraction study showed that the basal reflection (002) peak of graphite oxide was absent in the ANS-functionalized graphene (ANS-G), indicating crystal layer delamination. Ultraviolet-visible spectral data were recorded to assess the solubility of the ANS-G in water. Fourier transform infrared spectral analysis suggested the attachment of ANS molecules to the surface of graphene. Raman and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy revealed that oxygen functionality in the graphite oxide had been removed during reduction. Atomic force microscopy found that the thickness of ANS-G in water was about 1.8 nm, much higher than that of single layer graphene. Thermal stability measurements also indicated successful removal of oxygen functionality from the graphite oxide and the attachment of thermally unstable ANS to the graphene surfaces. Dispersible graphene is prepared through the complete reduction of graphene oxide, which is prepared by the modified Hummer's method. It should be noted that the graphene prepared by the usual method is easy to form the graphene aggregation. It is very hard, even its volume is much smaller than its parent material graphite.
The electrical conductivity of ANS-G, determined by a four-point probe, was 145 S m(-1) at room temperature. The thickness of graphene nanoplate is alway larger than 20 nm, therefore it always consists of more than 50 layer graphene, and it lose the intrinsic special properties of single-layer graphene. The resulting graphene agglomerate is not soluble or redispersable in water or other polar solvents, making further processing difficult. Our product Dispersible graphene overcome the challenge, and it can be redispersed in many solvents, such as in water , Alcohol, acetone, DMF etc. Fig.1 shows the difference between dispersible graphene and non-redispersible graphene.
