| dc.description.abstract | Graphite is a valuable natural resource and useful carbon allotrope that has been explored for
various applications. Graphene is a two-dimensional (2D) transparent material, which is the
strongest, thinnest, and most conductive substance known. Graphene-based materials are
strategic nanomaterials that have been investigated for various applications, encompassing water
contaminant remediation, energy conversion and storage, and electrochemical biosensors, and
graphite is its primary source. This MSc thesis focuses mainly on: (a) the characterization of
graphite and the study of its properties, both of which influence the quality of graphene based
materials; (b) the development of a novel and simple strategy toward the generation of high
quality graphenoids; and (c) the exploration of green chemistry applications such as
environmental contaminant remediation and energy conversion and storage. [...] | en_US |
