Effect of concentration of Surfactant on the Exfoliation of Graphite to Graphene in Aqueous Media

Graphite was exfoliated to graphene by tip sonic using sodium cholate as a surfactant in the presence of Millipore water as a medium. The use of water as a solvent for exfoliation purposes is very important due to its environ‐ mentally friendly nature and almost no cost, contrary to organic media. T...
