Bulk synthesis of graphene-like materials possessing turbostratic graphite and graphene nanodomains via combustion of magnesium in carbon dioxide

This study reports a gram scale synthesis of a turbostratically aligned carbon material containing regions of graphite and few-layer graphene located in carbon-only nanodomains. The material, obtained from the combustion of magnesium in a carbon dioxide atmosphere, displays 2D and layered 3D molecul...

Description
Summary:This study reports a gram scale synthesis of a turbostratically aligned carbon material containing regions of graphite and few-layer graphene located in carbon-only nanodomains. The material, obtained from the combustion of magnesium in a carbon dioxide atmosphere, displays 2D and layered 3D molecular architectures. Of particular interest is that the introduction of an in-air high-temperature calcination process yields a carbon material possessing discrete turbostratic structural regions, as evidenced by Raman spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, electron energy loss spectroscopy and X-ray powder diffraction characterisations.
