  • Graphene oxide and method of production thereof
    Patent number: 11584650
    Abstract: A method of producing an electrochemically derived graphene oxide and product produced therefrom. The method comprises locating graphite particles within an electrochemical cell having a working electrode, counter electrode, and an aqueous acid electrolyte, the working electrode being positioned within the electrolyte to contact at least a portion of the graphite particles; agitating the graphite particles within the electrolyte; and applying a potential difference between the working electrode and counter electrode, thereby resulting in electrochemical exfoliation and oxidation of the graphite particles to produce graphene oxide.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 14, 2015
    Date of Patent: February 21, 2023
    Assignee: BAOSHAN IRON & STEEL CO., LTD.
    Inventors: Yulin Zhong, Dan Li, George Philip Simon
