研究目的
To demonstrate the direct and efficient conversion of low-quality graphite into high-quality iodine-doped graphene nanoplatelets (HIGnPs) via mechanochemical ball-milling, and to evaluate their electrocatalytic performance for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR).
研究成果
The production of high-quality iodine-doped graphene nanoplatelets (HIGnPs) from low-quality graphite (L-graphite) via mechanochemical ball-milling was demonstrated. The resultant HIGnPs possessed high-quality characteristics such as low impurities, high crystallinity, high doping level, and large specific surface area. They showed significantly enhanced electrocatalytic performance for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), high tolerance against impurities, and excellent long-term stability.
研究不足
The study focuses on the conversion of low-quality graphite to high-quality graphene nanoplatelets and their electrocatalytic performance, but does not explore other potential applications or the scalability of the production process beyond laboratory scale.
