  • Publication number: 20130164208
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of forming graphene. A graphite positive electrode (or positive electrode together with graphite material) wrapped in a semipermeable membrane and a negative electrode are dipped in an acidic electrolyte to conduct an electrolysis process. As such, a first graphene oxide having a size larger than a pore size of the semipermeable membrane is exfoliated from the graphite positive electrode (or the graphite material). The electrolysis process is continuously conducted until a second graphene oxide is exfoliated from the first graphene oxide, wherein the second graphene oxide has a size which is smaller than the pore size of the semipermeable membrane to penetrate through the semipermeable membrane. The second graphene oxide diffused into the acidic electrolyte outside of the semipermeable membrane is collected. Finally, the collected second graphene oxide is chemically reduced to obtain a graphene.
