Abstract
Graphene nanosheets were synthesized using graphite oxide as a precursor by detonation. The composition, and structure of graphene nanosheets were characterized by X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning and transmission electron microscopy, selected area electron diffraction, and Raman spectroscopy. Results indicated that the as-prepared material was transparent and wrinkled, and comprised 2-5 graphenes with a highly crystalline structure. The exfoliation and reduction of graphite oxide to graphene nanosheets was induced by the self-generated thermal energy and shockwave of detonation.
