One-step synthesis of graphene nanosheets through explosive process

ABSTRACT

Herein, we report a facile process to prepare graphene nanosheets through explosive method. The explosive products were characterized by using XRD, TEM, AFM, Raman and XPS. The results show that the obtained materials have a perfect sheet-like structure, and vary in the two-dimensional plane at the macron scale and in thickness at the nanoscale. This technique may offer a low-cost, energy-saving, and efficient way to prepare graphene materials.
