Although graphene has been produced by various methods at lab scale, however, its cost effective mass production method is still a challenge. Graphene has been produced by liquid phase exfoliation, which is the most probable method for commercial production of graphene for various industrial applications.This paper reports high concentration production of few-layer graphene in DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) as solvent through liquid phase exfoliation assisted with sonication. The temperature was kept below 30oC. SEM, AFM, and XRD were used to characterize the produced graphene. SEM results confirm the production of few-layer graphene. EDX analysis shows that the graphene surface is free from oxides and impurities. AFM results also confirm the production of few-layer graphene. The UV-visible spectrophotometer was used to determine the concentration of the produced graphene, and the investigations demonstrate that the graphene production was increased by increasing the sonication time. There exist a linear relationship between the amount of produced graphene and sonication time for supplying energy during sonication.

A top-down method was developed for producing colloidal dispersions of graphene sheets. Graphite nanosheets comprising hundreds of carbon layers were dispersed and gently ball-milled to exfoliate into graphene in a variety of organic solvents. After 30 hours of the shear-force-dominated grinding and a subsequent 4000 r.p.m. of centrifugation, single- and few-layer graphene sheets were readily prepared and homogeneously and stably suspended in the good solvent medium which possesses a surface tension value close to 40 mJm−2, such as inN,N-dimethylformamide, at a concentration up to 0.08 mg ml−1, achieving a yield higher than 32.0 wt%. The graphene materials in the colloidal suspension were characterized using scanning and transmission electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy.
