Ultrathin, Multilayer Structure, Graphene nanolayer, Sodium-dodecylsulfateAbstract
In this study, graphite powder was used to prepare few-layer graphene sheets through shear milling. During the process, graphite was well-dispersed in double distilled water as a lubricant and sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS), followed by shaking and milling under low energy. The exerted sheer force led to continuous delamination of graphene flakes. The microstructural investigation was performed by SEM. Also, the energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) analysis was performed to determine distinct levels of carbon in different fragments of graphite. The ultrathin multilayer structure of graphite was successfully obtained using the surfactant of SDS, which can lead to the production of molecularly thin sheets by mechanical peeling. Moreover, it was found that this synthesis method has advantages, including cost-effectiveness and ease in performance for producing a lot of graphene nanolayers.
