Abstract

Microwave induced rapid decomposition of nitromethane at low temperature exfoliates the graphene sheets from the FeCl₃ and CH₃NO₂ co-intercalated graphite compound without creating many defects and functional groups. This approach provides a scalable method for high-quality graphene materials via low-temperature exfoliation of graphite under mild chemical conditions.
