Abstract

Since the discovery of graphene in 2004, graphene has already been one of the researching hotspots in the material science. As a promising method, electrochemical exfoliation has drawn great attention for producing graphene on industrial scale with high efficiency, low cost, and non-pollution. However, like other wet-chemical methods, the induced oxidation and chemical functionalization are unavoidable during the exfoliation process. Several solutions have been reported to overcome this issue and improve the graphene quality. In this review, we summarize the recent progress in preparation and potential applications of high-quality graphene via electrochemical exfoliation in acidic electrolytes, focusing on the technological innovation and related properties of obtained high-quality graphene.
