METHODS OF GROWING GRAPHITE UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS AND TEMPERATURE

The given article presents a simple and efficient method for preparing grown graphite, in which intercalation and graphite growth are accomplished in just one step under ambient conditions, without the use of heating or any complex equipment. We show that grown graphite obtained by a single-step process at room temperature yields an increase of up to 225 times. Most importantly, the amount of concentrated H2SO4 acting as an intercalant can be significantly reduced compared to traditional methods, significantly reducing the amount of wastewater and mitigating the harmful effects on the environment caused by excessive use of H2SO4.
