This study is to discuss solvent selection with graphene dispersion concentration of directly exfoliation graphite. That limiting boundaries of fractional cohesion parameters will be draw on the triangular diagram to prediction and estimate. It is based on the literature of data and check with experimental or other literature results, include organic solution, aqueous solution and ionic liquid. In this work, we found that estimated the graphene dispersion concentration by distance (Ra) of Hansen solubility parameters (HSP) between graphene and solvent, the lower Ra; the higher concentration, some case the lower Ra; the lower dispersion concentration (such as acetone). It is compatible with the graphene dispersion concentration on the Hansen space or Triangular fractional cohesion parameters dispersion diagram. From Triangular fractional cohesion parameters dispersion diagram, 2D maps are more convenient for researchers than 3D maps of Hansen space and quickly to find the appropriate combination of solvents for different application.
