▎ 摘  要

Stable natural graphene occurs in graphite-and phyllosilicate-bearing low-grade metamorphic rocks. The pres-ent work simulates the process of geological formation of graphene using a piston-cylinder apparatus, promoting diffusion between talc and graphite at 700??C and 900 MPa for a period of 24 h. The experimental products were analyzed by optical and scanning electron microscopy for description of the microstructures formed between the mineral precursors. The talc-graphite diffusion zone was also analyzed by Raman spectroscopy. Results indi-cate that graphite becomes progressively more deformed near the talc diffusion zone and eventually undergoes cleavage. Graphene becomes stable on the talc substrate in the center of diffusion zone. Therefore, the search for deposits of natural graphene and other nanomaterials in geological context is promising.
