| Abstract: | The present invention relates to the process for preparation of high-grade turbostratic graphene from subbituminous tertiary coal from North eastern region of India by ultrasonic-assisted chemical oxidation and ultrafiltration followed by thermal reduction process. More particularly, the present invention relates to the efficient, scalable, low-cost process for preparation of high-quality graphene by ultrasonication supported chemical oxidation, ultrafiltration followed by thermal reduction process from low-grade subbituminous Indian coals. The synthesis of coal-derived graphene material is confirmed by various analytical methods such as High- Resolution Transmission Electron Microscope (HRTEM), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, X- ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. This process can produce graphene on a large scale without using harsh acids, making it safer and more eco-friendly than existing methods. The present invention offers a sustainable and effective way to produce graphene with potential applications in different domains. |
