GRAPHENE OXIDE AND METHOD OF PRODUCTION THEREOF

A method of producing an electrochemically derived graphene oxide and product produced therefrom. The method comprises locating graphite particles within an electrochemical cell having a working electrode, counter electrode, and an aqueous acid electrolyte, the working electrode being positioned within the electrolyte to contact at least a portion of the graphite particles; agitating the graphiteparticles within the electrolyte; and applying a potential difference between the working electrode and counter electrode, thereby resulting in electrochemical exfoliation and oxidation of the graphite particles to produce graphene oxide. 种生产电化学衍生的氧化石墨烯的方法和由此产生的产品。该方法包括将石墨颗粒定位在具有工作电极，对电极和含水酸性电解质的电化学电池内，该工作电极位于电解质内以接触石墨颗粒的至少部分；搅动电解质内的石墨颗粒；并且在工作电极和对电极之间施加电势差，从而导致石墨颗粒的电化学剥离和氧化以产生氧化石墨烯。
