摘要

Graphene is the 2D planar allotrope of carbon sought after for its exceptional electrical and mechanical properties. Graphene synthesis has been researched extensively since its experimental discovery by Geim in 2004, and research into the production of graphene has increased rapidly. This thesis investigated the production of graphene nanosheets by igniting magnesium turnings within the presence of dry ice. The aim of this study is to optimize the reaction conditions for industrial scalability and further understand the mechanism of formation.;Arc welding utilizes an electric discharge that produces a high, rapid temperature flux (3100°C) to weld metals together. This was applied to igniting Mg turnings within dry ice submerged in Ar, removing air and moisture. This optimized system allowed for higher production rates of graphene nanosheets. Rates of 60-80 grams of crude product were produced within one hour.;The mechanism of formation was better understood by the analysis of the crude product. Within the product was the presence of nanocubes ranging from approximately 2 to 500 nm in length. This thesis presents the hypothesis that these nanocubes are MgO coated with graphene. Hence, the morphology, size, and quality of the nanosheets are directly controlled by the formation of MgO nanocubes. This postulated is evident through the characterization methods of TEM, XRD, Raman spectroscopy, and EDX.
