▎ 摘　　要

NOVELTY - Metal-doped graphene is made by preparing an asphaltene thin film on a metal catalyst substrate; and heating the asphaltene thin film/catalyst at greater than or equal to 400 degrees C and at pressures of greater than or equal to 1x 10-3 torr to form metal-doped graphene. USE - The method is useful for making metal-doped graphene (claimed) and metal-doped graphene derivatives from pitch. The metal-doped graphene or composition is useful in conductive, transparent film used in applications such as transparent electrodes for touch screens or solar cells; useful in surface area component of an electrode for applications such as fuel cells, super-capacitors and lithium ion batteries; useful in additive for mechanical, electrical, thermal, barrier and fire resistant properties of a polymer; useful in band gap engineering components electronic applications related to semiconducting; and useful in catalytic materials. ADVANTAGE - Not only does the material produced by the method, disperse in solution, it is not oxidized and so it does not need reduction. The fact that it is not oxidized eliminates producing materials using very strong acids and thus also eliminates neutralizing and washing steps. DETAILED DESCRIPTION - An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for a metal-doped graphene produced by the method above.
