Highly dispersible disk-like graphene nanoflakes

Nanoscale. 2015 Oct 7;7(37):15059-64. doi: 10.1039/c5nr04422g.

Abstract

We present the preparation of disk-like graphene nanoflakes, highly dispersible in dimethylformamide (DMF), with uniform size and thickness. The preparation procedure includes an overnight mild sonication of natural graphite in DMF, followed by a purification step using ultra-centrifugation. The mean diameter of the as produced well defined round shaped graphene nanoflakes is about 100 nm and they consisted of less than twenty graphenic layers.
