The environmentally friendly graphene DY-Graphene Nano Platelets is produced as an edge-selectively functionalized graphene nano platelets by means of a mechanochemical method on the basal plane without oxidation.
Low-cost, high-yield production of graphene nanosheets is essential for practical applications. We have achieved high yield of edge-selectively carboxylated graphite by a simple ball milling of pristine graphite in the presence of CO2. Ball milling can thus provide simple, but efficient and versatile, and eco-friendly (CO2-capturing) approaches to low-cost mass production of high-quality GNs for applications where GOs have been exploited and beyond.
The environmentally friendly graphene DY-CG is produced as an edge-selective graphite by means of a mechanochemical method on the basal plane without oxidation. Edge-carboxylated DY-CG has better conductivity than that of GO. Furthermore, as a composite, when DY-CG use a carboxyl group, various applications are made possible.

In order to covalently attach phosphorus to the edges of graphene nanoplatelets, graphite is ball-milled with red phosphorus. The cleavage of graphitic C-C bonds during mechanochemical ball-milling generates reactive carbon species, which react with phosphorus in a sealed ball-mill crusher to form graphene phosphorus. PGnP is readily dispersible in many polar solvents, including neutral water, allowing for solution (spray) coating for highperformance, nontoxic flame-retardant applications.
The environmentally friendly graphene DY-PG is produced as an edge-selective graphite by means of a mechanochemical method on the basal plane without oxidation. DY-PG has excellent dispersibility and is widely used in the field of composite materials. In particular, it exhibits excellent properties as flame-retardants.

DY-IG has remarkable electrocatalytic activities toward oxygen reduction reaction(ORR) with a high selectivity, good tolerance to methanol crossover/CO poisoning effects, and excellent long-term cycle stability.
The environmentally friendly graphene DY-IG is produced as an edge-selective graphite by means of a mechanochemical method on the basal plane without oxidation. The newly-developed DY-IG can be well dispersed in various solvents, and hence are solution processable.

However, direct nitrogen fixation is challenging as nitrogen (N2) does not easily react with other chemicals. By dry ball-milling graphite with N2, we can produce a simple, but versatile, scalable and eco-friendly, approach to direct fixation of N2 at the edges of graphene nanoplatelets (GnPs).
The environmentally friendly graphene DY-NG is produced as an edge-selective graphite by means of a mechanochemical method on the basal plane without oxidation.
DY-NG with superb catalytic performance in both dye-sensitized solar cells and fuel cells can replace conventional Pt-based catalysts for energy conversion.
