We produce graphene dispersions of nanoplates and nanoflakes in three categories in different base fluids (mainly in distilled and deionized water) (see table 2). The concentration of graphene nanoflakes in water solution can vary from 0.2% to 5%. Higher concentrations of graphene or graphene oxide in the dispersion are produced from graphene pastes (see below).
