▎ 摘  要

NOVELTY - Graphene flakes are synthesized from atmospheric carbon dioxide gas by capturing atmospheric carbon dioxide; igniting magnesium in the presence of carbon dioxide to produce graphene; washing graphene with aqueous hydrochloric acid; rinsing graphene flakes with deionized water; suspending graphene flakes in aqueous ammonium sulfate solution; exposing ammonium sulfate solution to electric current of approximately 10 volts for greater than or equal to 5 minutes; separating graphene flakes from ammonium sulfate solution; dessicating graphene flakes; tumbling graphene flakes in a tumble blender for 1-24 hours; suspending graphene flakes in an ethanol solution; and applying current of 0.5-1.5 V to ethanol solution. USE - Synthesis of graphene flakes from atmospheric carbon dioxide gas for use as substrate admixture for concrete, water filtration medium, air filtration medium, replacement for separator in batteries, allowing for a battery-capacitor hybrid, capacitors for electronics, and insulating materials to create additives for thermal insulation, or for clothing, aerogels, electrical safety equipment, resins to create radiation resistant mediums, silicon glass to create solar panel replacements and photodiodes, glass, metal alloy, lightbulbs as a replacement for resistor, sound barriers to create a speaker, fiberglass additive, carbon fiber additive, additive for plastic and plexiglass, armor materials, polymers including but not limited to polyester, polystyrene, polycarbonate, and polyurethane, and solid materials including but not limited to stone, ceramic, marble, and tile. ADVANTAGE - The resulting graphene flakes increase material strength and insulation capabilities of clothing; increase and improve thermal insulation and capabilities of aerogels; increase strength of glass and metal alloy, as well as enhance the properties of metal of metal alloy; increase strength and flexibility when used as fiberglass additive, carbon fiber additive, and additive for plastic and plexiglass; and increase strength and flexibility of polymers and solid materials.
