Research Progress on Preparation of Graphene by Supercritical Fluid Exfoliation

Abstract

As a new type of two-dimensional carbonaceous material, graphene has excellent physical properties and great application potential. The key problem to realize graphene industrialization is to find a large-scale preparing method of graphene with high quality and low cost. In this paper, the advantages and disadvantages of preparation methods for graphene were first reviewed, and then the mechanism, research status and characterization methods of supercritical fluids exfoliated method were introduced in details. And the features of supercritical fluids exfoliated method with the assistance of ultrasonication and pyrene-polymers were summarized. The advantages of supercritical fluids exfoliated method are simple equipment, processing conditions easy to achieve and products with high quality, and a new way of thinking for the industrial production of graphene is provided.
