Determination of the Quantity of Graphene in a Polymorphic Multi-Component Carbon Mixture by Optical Characteristics in the CIELAB Colorimetric System
Abstract
The disadvantage of existing methods for quantitative determination of graphene content is their limited application for the analysis of multicomponent polymorphic mixtures including solid amorphous, graphite and graphene phases. The aim of the study is the research of the possibility for determination of the amount of graphene in a polymorphic multicomponent carbon mixture using color lightness in the CIELAB system. As the object of the research the samples of chemically exfoliated graphene mixed with amorphous carbon were used. It was found that the amount of graphene is related to color lightness of the mixture in the CIELAB system by a linear relation. The discovered relations were tested on model mixtures and confirmed by statistical data processing. The practical use of the discovered phenomenon in the technology of carbon materials lies in the possibility of estimating the content of graphene in mixtures containing other carbon modifications.
