How to Exfoliated Graphite?

The exfoliation of graphite typically involves the intercalation of graphite to form a graphite intercalation compound (GIC, also known as intercalated graphite) [9, 10], followed by heating of the GIC [5, 11]. The intercalation compound is also known as expandable graphite, since it can be exfoliated upon heating.

What is exfoliation method?

Exfoliating is the process of removing dead skin cells from the surface of your skin using a chemical, granular substance, or exfoliation tool. Your skin naturally sheds dead skin cells to make room for new cells every 30 days or so. Sometimes, dead cells don't shed completely.

What is exfoliated graphene oxide?

Graphene is different in size and structure because of oxidized layered of graphene oxide hence, the expanded interlayer structure of graphene oxide can be easily exfoliated by ultrasonication. ... Exfoliation of graphite oxide is conducted using water bath sonication.
