The Hummers’ method is used to prepare graphene oxide and graphene powder, and the obtained powder material contains a large amount of oxygen-containing groups. Due to the effect of strong oxidants, there are many defects on the graphene body. Although a large number of oxygen-containing groups are reduced by the reduction reaction, the defects of the graphene body are numerous, which has a great influence on the conductivity of graphene and also limits the high carrier transport capability and application of graphene itself. Using industrial means, the graphene powder is highly reduced, and the ultrathin graphene powder is obtained, the graphene powder has extremely low impurity content, and the defects are substantially completely reduced. Then, these lay the foundation for its application in the battery industry.
