Patents by Inventor Weijie YE

Weijie YE has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10005957
    Abstract: A porous graphene, a graphene quantum dot and a green preparation method for the porous graphene and the graphene quantum dot. The method includes adding a starting material, graphite, into an acetic acid aqueous solution of chitosan, using chitosan as a stripping agent, obtaining the porous graphene by an ultrasonic treatment, centrifugation and precipitation, and obtaining the graphene quantum dot by dialyzing a supernatant from the centrifugation. The obtained porous graphene has fewer layers and a larger lateral dimension of sheet. The obtained graphene quantum dot has good dispersity and a uniform particle size distribution. The preparation method is simple to perform and a graphitization degree of the prepared porous graphene and graphene quantum dot is high. The obtained porous graphene can be used as a carrier for a reverse gene transfection, and the graphene quantum dot can be used for cell imaging.
