  • ELECTROCHEMICAL CONVERSION OF A CARBON MATERIAL TO GRAPHENE
    Publication number: 20240003018
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method of converting a carbon material to graphene, the method comprising the step of subjecting an amorphous carbon material pellet submerged in a molten inorganic material that comprises an alkaline earth halide to an electrochemical reaction in an inert atmosphere for a period of time, wherein the amorphous carbon material pellet is converted to a graphene pellet comprising graphene flakes by said reaction.
