  • Patent number: 9831501
    Abstract: In the graphene manufacturing method, a graphite oxide is formed from graphite, and then the graphite oxide is treated with a hydrochloric acid. The hydrochloric acid-treated graphite oxide is reduced at temperature of 120° C. or above and 200° C. or below by performing thermal treatment thereto. Since a low-temperature process is used for manufacturing graphene by performing thermal treatment at a relatively low temperature for a short time, this method has great economic feasibility and utilization. Due to a simple composing process and low thermal treatment temperature, graphene may be mass-produced with a low price. In particular, the graphene may be used as a cathode material for a lithium secondary battery, which exhibits a high capacity at a high voltage of 2V or above by reacting with Li, different from an anode material of a lithium secondary battery.
