Electrochemical Graphene Exfoliation from Graphite.
Produced graphene-rich carbon material from graphite using electrochemical exfoliation, vacuum filtration, sonication, and purification workflows for conductive-material applications.
Developed a lab-scale electrochemical workflow for converting graphite into graphene-rich nanomaterial suspensions.
At Kamkar Labs, I worked on a materials research project focused on producing graphene-rich carbon material from graphite using electrochemical exfoliation. The goal was to break down bulk graphite into thinner conductive carbon structures that could later support composite materials, energy-storage devices, and functional nanomaterial systems.
The workflow combined electrolysis, repeated filtration, washing, sonication, and suspension handling to isolate usable graphene-rich material from the starting graphite source. I supported the lab-scale preparation process by setting up electrochemical runs, monitoring solution behavior, separating product material, and refining the purification workflow across multiple processing stages.
This project gave me early hands-on experience with electrochemical synthesis, nanomaterial processing, and the practical challenges of turning a raw carbon material into a cleaner, more usable experimental product.
- 01Set up and supported electrochemical exfoliation runs to break down graphite into graphene-rich carbon material under lab-scale synthesis conditions.
- 02Used vacuum filtration, washing, sonication, and repeated purification steps to separate and refine the exfoliated carbon product.
- 03Documented the processing workflow and material-handling observations to support future use of the graphene-rich product in conductive composites and energy-material experiments.
