| Abstract | In the present work, we report a sonication-assisted exfoliation method of graphene preparationenhanced by the use of microwave heating and “green” exfoliant – sodium carboxymethyl cellulose(NaCMC). Introducing microwave heating during sonication of graphite dispersions in aqueous solutionsof NaCMC results in the formation of graphene dispersions with concentration as high as 4.29 mg/ml. It isfound that drying the dispersions results in the formation of graphene/NaCMC composites with graphenecontent up to 38.65 wt%. A study of the composite with High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopyand Raman Spectroscopy reveals the formation of few-layer graphene approximately below five layers.The as-prepared graphene/NaCMC composite shows higher capacities than commercial graphite in Li-ionhalf cells reaching 397 mAh/g(graphene). Also, when the composite is used with a nanosilicon (33 wt%) in aLi-ion half cell high initial reversible capacities of 1611 mAh/g(Si)with good cyclability and rate capabilityhave been reached. |
