▎ 摘 要
NOVELTY - Device (700) for converting a carbon pill (715) into graphene comprises (i) a space between at least two electrically conductive surfaces, where the electrically conductive surfaces are configured to support at least one carbon pill in the space; at least two electrodes electrically coupled to the at least two electrically conductive surfaces; and a power supply (705) connected to the electrodes for passing a current through the electrodes to convert the at least one carbon pill into graphene or (ii) at least two electrodes, where the electrodes operate at high temperatures, and the electrodes are configured to support a carbon pill and a power supply connected to the electrodes for passing a current through the electrodes to convert the carbon pill into graphene. The device further comprises a shield (720) to surround the space configured to block deflected powder from the carbon pill without contacting the at least one carbon pill. The device further comprises a force sensor. USE - The device is useful for producing turbostratic graphene. ADVANTAGE - The device is cost efficient, can produce graphene on an industrial scale which preserve the quartz used during synthesis may reduce costs and allows for improved storage, transportation, and processing of materials necessary for producing graphene. DETAILED DESCRIPTION - INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are included for the following: (1) a method for synthesizing graphene; (2) a carbon pill for graphene conversion; (3) turbostratic graphene produced by the device, the method and/or the carbon pill; and (4) a turbostratic graphene material wherein the graphene is synthesized by joule heating a carbon pill. DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The drawing shows a side view of the device. Device (700) Power supply (705) Carbon pill (715) Shield (720) Compression spring (735)
