Abstract

Nanographite is synthesized at room temperature and pressure through a simple process of acidifying sucrose microemulsions using sulfuric acid. The microemulsion droplets exert control over the reaction and sheet stacking process to ensure that only sufficiently pristine graphene nanosheets stack. Primary nanographitic particles of size ∼3−30 nm stack in a crystallographic registry to form larger 250 nm- to μm-sized nanographitic aggregates.
