    摘要: The embodiments herein provide a system and a method for the synthesis of Graphene Quantum Dots (GQDs) for use in applications like nano-electronics, photonics, bio-imaging, energy storage, quantum computing, etc. Cu substrate is placed inside the CVD tube, and the CVD Chamber is sealed. The process parameters for CVD process are set up. Precursor gases injected inside the tube are dissociate to form carbon dimers and trimmers. Upon cooling semi-cyrstalline carbon film deposits inside the CVD tube. Oxidizing gas mixture is injected to convert amorphous C in semi-cyrstalline carbon film to CO2/CO. Graphene Quantum Dots (GQDs) so formed are carried with the gas flow and deposited at the cooler end of tube. The scrapper assembly is inserted in the CVD Tube and the reagent is sprayed inside the tube to disperse these GQDs in the reagent. This dispersion is pumped out of the CVD Chamber.

    摘要: The embodiments herein provide a filter for cigarette comprising graphene nano-composite based material enclosed in a casing. The filter is reusable and is plugged to any cigarette, or tobacco smoking products. The filter is a stand-alone product or manufactured integrally with each individual cigarette. The filter provides a safe smoking option to tobacco smokers without changing their smoking habits by reducing the tar content and other toxic chemicals in the inhaled smoke. The graphene based nanocomposite filter adsorbs the toxic agents from the smoke of cigarette, beedi, hookah. The filter is fabricated by treating ceramic particles and coating them with carbon particles. The carbon particles are carbonized. The ceramic particles coated with carbon are segregated based on shape and size and treated chemically to convert carbon into graphene under inert conditions. The graphene coated particles are chemically functionalized for improved filtration.

    摘要: The embodiments herein provide method and system for synthesizing graphene and a plurality of derivatives through a mechanical shearing process. The method comprises synthesizing a ceramic substrate from a ceramic material in particulate form; depositing carbon material on the synthesized ceramic substrate to synthesize graphene ceramic substrate coated with carbonaceous material; dissolving/dispersing the graphene ceramic substrate coated with carbonaceous material in one solvent and perform mechanical shearing to obtain a dispersion solution of graphene and its derivatives. This graphene dispersions is further subjected to ultrasonication to obtain graphene nano-platelets. The embodiments also provide mechanical exfoliation method for the bulk synthesis of doped and functionalized graphene nano-platelets. The doped graphene ceramic composite are subjected to exfoliation with or without simultaneous ultra-sonication for obtaining doped graphene sheet. The exfoliated graphene sheets obtained from doped graphene ceramic composite are subjected to ultra-sonication and centrifugation.

    摘要: A system for extending a range of an electric vehicle includes a graphene-based metal-air battery system (GMABS), an electrolyte management system (EMS), a flow management system (FMS), one or more auxiliary power sources, and a real-time monitoring and feedback system (RMS). The GMABS includes multiple cells electrically connected to each other and filled with an electrolyte for initiating a reaction to generate power. The EMS regulates a temperature of the electrolyte flowing through the cells. The FMS regulates a circulation of the electrolyte in the GMABS. At least one auxiliary power source is connected to the GMABS to receive and deliver the power to components of the electric vehicle. The RMS continuously computes and monitors a state of charge of each auxiliary power source in real time to facilitate a continuous power delivery to the electric vehicle, thereby extending the range of the electric vehicle.
