Abstract

Liquid phase exfoliation (LPE) has emerged as a promising method for the industrial-scale production of graphene. However, one of its critical steps, namely sonication, has faced challenges due to high power consumption and low efficiency, leading to limited applicability in industrial settings. This study introduces a novel, cost-effective microfluidic sonication device designed to significantly reduce power consumption while efficiently assisting the LPE process for graphene production. By coupling a capillary with a buzzer and applying an appropriate electric signal, simulation and particle tracing experiments reveal the generation of robust shear forces resulting from acoustic streaming and cavitation when the capillary end is immersed in the liquid. The capillary-based sonication device was effectively utilized for graphene exfoliation in a DMF + NaOH liquid phase system. The SEM and Raman characterization results corroborate the successful exfoliation of 100 nm graphene sheets from graphite flakes using this pioneering device.
