Ultrasonic-Assisted Diels–Alder Reaction Exfoliation of Graphite into Graphene with High Resveratrol Adsorption Capacity

Scalable preparation of graphene with high adsorption capacity is an important prerequisite for fully realizing its commercial application. Herein, we propose an environmentally friendly route for exfoliation of graphene, which is established based on the Diels–Alder reaction. In our route, <i>...
