Sustainable Production of Biomass-Derived Graphite and Graphene Conductive Inks from Biochar.

ABSTRACT: Graphite is a commonly used raw material across many industries and the demand for high-quality graphite has been increasing in recent years, especially as a primary component for lithium-ion batteries. However, graphite production is currently limited by production shortages, uneven geographical distribution, and significant environmental impacts incurred from conventional processing. Here, an efficient method of synthesizing biomass-derived graphite from biochar is presented as a sustainable alternative to natural and synthetic graphite. The resulting bio-graphite equals or exceeds quantitative quality metrics of spheroidized natural graphite, achieving a Raman I_D/I_G ratio of 0.051 and crystallite size parallel to the graphene layers (L_a) of 2.08 µm.
