In the ball-milling process, the EG could be exfoliated into graphene nanosheets and few-layer graphite, and then improved the electronic conductivity of RP-BP. It should be noted that the current density of RP-BP/EG-3 is lower than 10 mA cm −2 which maybe attributed to the poor electroconductivity with a low content of EG...A simple and effective xylitol-assisted mechanochemical stripping method has been used to peel graphite into graphene nanosheets (GNSs). Using xylitol as a ball milling aid can increase the shear force in the ball milling process and well get over the Van der Waals interlayer force between adjacent graphite layers. The prepared graphene has large horizontal size, thin …
