  • Patent number: 9056778
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a nano-graphite plate structure with N graphene layers stacked together, where N is 30 to 300. The nanometer nano-graphite structure has a tap density of 0.1 g/cm3 to 0.01 cm3, a thickness of 10 nm to 100 nm, and a lateral dimension of 1 ?m to 100 ?m. The ratio of the lateral dimension to the thickness is between 10 and 10,000. The oxygen content is less than 3 wt %, and the carbon content is larger than 95 wt %. The nano-graphite plate structure has both the excellent features of the graphene and the original advantages of easy processability of the natural graphite so as to be broadly used in various application fields.

  • Publication number: 20150158729
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing nano-graphene sheets, includes: intercalating and oxidizing a graphite material to form a graphite oxide by mixing the graphite material with an intercalation agent and oxidant; contacting the graphite oxide with a heat source to thermally flake the graphite oxide to nano-graphite sheets; suspending the nano-graphite sheets in a liquid medium and applying a mechanical shear force larger than 5,000 psi to mechanically flake the nano-graphite sheets for reducing the lateral size and thickness to form a nano-graphene suspension solution; separating the nano-graphene sheets from the nano-graphene suspension solution and drying the nano-graphene sheets; and finally reducing and heat treating the nano-graphene sheets to lower the oxygen content to less than 3 wt % and decrease the crystal defects.
