SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SCALED-UP SYNTHESIS OF DOPED AND FUNCTIONALIZED GRAPHENE DERIVATIVES THROUGH MECHANICAL EXFOLIATION PROCESS

摘要

The embodiments herein provide method and system for synthesizing graphene and a plurality of derivatives through a mechanical shearing process. The method comprises synthesizing a ceramic substrate from a ceramic material in particulate form; depositing carbon material on the synthesized ceramic substrate to synthesize graphene ceramic substrate coated with carbonaceous material; dissolving/dispersing the graphene ceramic substrate coated with carbonaceous material in one solvent and perform mechanical shearing to obtain a dispersion solution of graphene and its derivatives. This graphene dispersions is further subjected to ultrasonication to obtain graphene nano-platelets. The embodiments also provide mechanical exfoliation method for the bulk synthesis of doped and functionalized graphene nano-platelets. The doped graphene ceramic composite are subjected to exfoliation with or without simultaneous ultra-sonication for obtaining doped graphene sheet. The exfoliated graphene sheets obtained from doped graphene ceramic composite are subjected to ultra-sonication and centrifugation.
