Abstract:
Graphene has attracted much attention due to its excellent physical and chemical properties.Development of a method to obtain graphene with high quality and high yield is crucial for the investigation and application of graphene in future.The direct liquidphase exfoliation of graphite to produce graphene is a potential method to produce high quality graphene on an industrial scale.The method prepares graphene in some appropriate medium,by using the ultrasonication to exfoliate graphite to form a colloidal solution of graphene.The exfoliation efficiency can be effectively increased by screening the medium(including solvent and auxiliary reagent).In this review,we mainly introduce the recent progress made on the preparation of graphene by direct liquidphase exfoliation and discuss the qualities and yields of graphene prepared in different mediums or under different conditions,aiming to provide references for the further development of liquidphase exfoliation of graphite to produce graphene,such as developing more effective exfoliation systems or new methods to prepare high quality graphene more effectively.
