Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, toward the recycling carbon dioxide, we investigated the nanocarbon production process from CO2 using supercritical fluid and plasma, and developed the scalable structural control and separation processes for graphene. Through the studies, we achieved 1. graphitic nanocarbon production from CO2 using supercritical fluid and plasma electrolysis, 2. efficient production of zigzag-edge-introduced graphene with promising electrochemical performance, and 3. scalable structural separation of graphene by gel chromatography.
