GRAPHITE STRATIFICATION BY MICROCLUSTER WATER IN A MAGNETIC FIELD

The article proposes a model of graphite exfoliation with microcluster water in a magnetic field and obtaining graphene from it. However, it is impossible to use mechanically obtained graphene on an industrial scale. Therefore, various methods (models) for obtaining graphene have appeared. The proposed model of graphite exfoliation is based on the concept of its surface layer, consisting of three graphene monolayers. Another aspect of the proposed model is the use of a special state of water, namely, the microcluster state, for graphite splitting. Natural graphite practically does not interact with pure water. For a microcluster aqueous solution, an equation is proposed that describes the splitting of graphite in a mobile phase separation system in the presence of a magnetic field and ultrasound. The surface energy of graphite in the interboundary plane is an order of magnitude greater than the surface energy (tension) of microcluster water. But in a magnetic field with ultrasound, the surface tension of microcluster water increases sharply, which leads to the exfoliation of graphite into graphene sheets.
