Graphene was produced from graphite electrode by exfoliation in ionic liquid. The influences of process parameters such as ionic liquid concentration, electrolysis potential and the type of anions in the ionic liquid on the production of graphene were studied, and a new mechanism is proposed. The results show that the increase of ionic liquid concentration is beneficial for the formation of graphene, and it is easier to produce graphene by increasing the applied voltage. Ionic liquids anions have great effect on the production of graphene. Both graphite anode and graphite cathode can be modified to graphene during electrolysis. Gases formed inside of the electrode play an important role for the production of graphene, while ionic liquids serve to accelerate the switching rate of graphite to graphene.
