Non-Oxidative and Scalable Electrochemical Production of Functional Graphene and its Nanohybrids

缺乏具有成本效益和可扩展的石墨烯生产方法是目前阻碍先进石墨烯纳米材料商业化的瓶颈。由块体石墨直接电化学制备这些功能材料不仅是解决问题的关键，而且为制备高导电性的石墨烯提供了一条无氧化的途径，非常适合于生物传感、能量存储和转换等应用。除了在石墨烯电化学方面实现科学突破外，该项目还将直接惠及澳大利亚的许多社会经济目标，包括将澳大利亚的自然资源制造成有价值的能源相关产品。

The lack of cost-effective and scalable graphene production methods is the current bottleneck that impedes the commercialisation of advanced graphene-based nanomaterials. Novel electrochemical production of those functional materials directly from bulk graphite not only holds the key to the solution but also provides a non-oxidative route for the production of highly conductive graphene which is well suited for applications such as biosensing, energy storage and conversion. Besides achieving scientific breakthroughs in graphene electrochemistry, this project will directly benefit many Australian socio-economic objectives, including manufacturing of Australia's natural resources into valuable energy related products.
