▎ 摘　　要

NOVELTY - Producing intercalating, expanded, and/or exfoliated graphite or graphene species comprises electrolysis utilizing electrode materials comprising graphite, where graphite layers are oriented within 20 degrees to plane of a surface of the electrode. USE - The method is useful for producing intercalating, expanded, and/or exfoliated graphite or graphene species (claimed). ADVANTAGE - The invention improves the yield and the quality of graphitic nanoplatelets yielded by electrolytic exfoliation methods, preferably without incorporating the use of dangerous or environmentally harmful chemicals. DETAILED DESCRIPTION - An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is a graphite or graphene species produced by the method; or a graphite species comprising intercalated graphite particles, where there exists a gradation of expansion within the intercalated graphite particles; or a graphite or graphene species produced from the graphite species above.
