    Robert, I would like to express my utmost gratitude for your unwavering dedication and meticulous research. Thanks to your invaluable contributions, I have achieved a significant milestone by successfully synthesizing graphene oxide for the first time, and subsequently transforming it into graphene using your recommended techniques. Your enlightening videos have truly acted as a gateway to the vast realm of inkjet printed electronics, significantly propelling my research forward. With great anticipation, I eagerly await any future uploads from you, as each video is a treasure trove of knowledge and never fails to captivate and inspire me. I extend my heartfelt appreciation for your remarkable efforts and, above all, for the profound knowledge you have bestowed upon us regarding graphene throughout the past decade. As an inventor and CZcams blogger, you remain an unrivaled figure in my eyes.

    A couple things from the Kitchen Chemistry 101 paper that I may have missed from the video, but may help others if left out:
    They used DI water with a PH of 7, which the PH of 7 gave the best exfoliation rate of PH 1 to 9 tested.
    From what I can assume, a centrifuge was used to speed up the graphite separation. Just let it sit for a few hours/days if you don't have one (or like Robert said, just use the solution as is), and the graphite will settle on it's own.

    • @phrumps9794
      @phrumps9794 Před 6 měsíci

      Easy enough to match PH values, at least easier than other things. Important to note what you add to influence PH adjustments. A centrifuge will greatly impact throughput in industrialized application, but it is unnecessary for a hobbyist due to natural separation. Heat up the solution, laser heat points, and call it a success.

    Very nice, thanks for unearthing & sharing this gem. It does feel like we're on the cusp of a tremendous breakthrough on very high volume production of useful graphene synthesized at stupendously low cost with widely available raw materials. The challenge will then be taking it in its raw form and tailoring to the specific application. And who knows, maybe this IS one of those breakthrough methods where this is the bulk graphene platform and the challenge is now ours to do the tailoring for integration into specific applications. Anyway, many thanks.

I had a customer in the past who was looking to construct an aircrete wall and his question was if the wall could stop a bullet...with this adulterate additive I might be capable of just that very thing?

    I hope to learn more of this method of making graphene and you said that the graphene is protein coated.
    If I may ask a question, for normal graphene applications such as structural enhancement in plastics, concrete etc. would you need to somehow remove the protein from the graphene? If so, how would someone do it?

    So i tried this with clay instead and did a control too. Looks like it working, the clay and water only already has about an inch of clay settled on the bottom, but the one with whey has a very thin layer that is grey in color, (using terracotta clay, might be impurities or excess whey not sure), the layer with the suspension i can't see any distinct particles, its just one solid color like a pudding cup in appearance. I wanted to try this since suspended nanoclay is used to treat sandy soils like in dessert (or in my case Florida), to improve it's water and fertility holding capacity. Normally the clay will just deposit on the surface if it's just water and clay, hopfully with the whey it will be able to soak in, I got two fish tanks im gonna use to compare.

    You address a bit of this in another video, but:
    You've got graphene with whey protein isolates cladding the faces of the 'sheets'...
    And you impregnate the casein from milk to make a very tough plastic material...
    Would it not make sense to:
    1. Coagulate the milk, reserving the solids as part B and the liquids as part A
    2. Make graphene as you do it here, BUT! use the part A liquids that you've just made
    3. Spin off your newly made bio-compatible graphene powder
    4. Add this to your part B casein
    5. Compress
    In this manner you're not buying already-isolated whey and adding water to it, you're simply removing the casein which you will then use anyway.
    Are the concentrations high enough? This would effectively halve the number of steps in the process, make it even cheaper, and potentially for the enterprising dairy farmer reduce the equipment outlay.
    I would love to know your thoughts

    • @Hampyumpy
      @Hampyumpy Před měsícem

      According to one comment, apparently the whole things works best im a pH7 environment. Given that coagulating casein needs an acid, that might reduce the efficiency a bit. (Also makes it a bit harder to calculate the amount of protein added to the graphene for the home chemist)

  • @user-um9sl1kj6u

    One of the things I’ve been thinking of, once you make stuff with graphene whether it’s graphene plastics or graphene and carbon fiber, besides paints and other materials, what about handling the recycling or disposal?
    What’s the lifecycle and disposal look like? Would it leech into the water supply?
    I could see graphene being used in aircraft, boats, housing and paneling, besides solar and renewable energy components, but what does the breakdown look like and does it break down in the stuff that you could ingest or breathe in, and what does that do?
    My guess is if it’s in the paint or epoxy, it would be unlikely to do so, but filters is another story. My guess is if you change it every so often, and considering it’s durability you would probably change it at least as often as a regular filter before that becomes a problem

    You made graphene infused bioplastic today, I don't have a blender but would love to be able to experiment with these myself.
    Will a high enough concentration of graphene per casein be conductive enough to replace copper(or gold or silver) sheeting? or is does the casein act as an insulator?
    could you press and heat it in thin enough sheets to use as circuitry if you adhere it to a board?
    also, there was a man studying graphene tubes in china. he fed them to silk worms and tested the silk they produced. the silk became conductive and much stronger. could it be possible to adhere this protein covered graphene to silk that's already been processed into thread?
    I'm really just discovering my interest in electricity and the like and don't have all the principles mastered. Would using more wires, of thinner diameter in a generator that used to contain standard 14ga or whatever, be more efficient? or would the increased resistance just set it on fire?

    I have a funny feeling milk is going to get scarce.😅 I have a small request. But first I will share that I am new to your channel, chemistry, and lab technique altogether. As far as kitchen chemistry goes, I can’t even make a respectable loaf of bread. I am getting better though it requires repeated attempts. 😅 With all that mentioned, here is my request or ask: please, will you demonstrated how you get the graphene out from the container. I would most likely botch the job by accidentally pulling the remaining graphite from the bottom. Maybe you already showed the technique for this on previous videos. Please reply with the video on how to do this. Thank you.

    Quick question: is the leftover liquid from making your casein usable as a source of the whey for the graphene production? Because I can't find whey for less than ~ 60c/oz [which works out to ~ $22/kg] and most of *that* is flavoring agents & sugar from the "bodybuilding food" it's sold as, so that's probably what, $100/kg for the actual whey content? It would be aces if the same milk used to produce your own casein biopolymer served double duty for the graphene production...

    @hc2013 Před rokem +1

    I loved the video. I see potentially an issue with using a blender and not ending up with very much single layer graphene as a product. I think this could be greatly improved by using a vacuum ball mill to do the shearing.
    Doing it under vacuum would eliminate the turbulence induced in the solution. By removing the percolating effect of the air in the chamber, theoretically it would allow for more shearing action by decreasing the disturbance from bubbles migrating through the solution and popping.

    I dropped charcoal briquettes made for hookah into water, it broke up into a fine material, i strained it through a coffee filter and let it dry.
    I have a video on my channel. There was a chemical reaction, i figure if this is not graphene mixing some hydrogen peroxide into the solution should break it apart into even smaller materials. Or use ultrasound

    Why aren’t we applying a potential to the solution to help organize and lengthen the connections, as they are sheared apart? If I wanted to create a fiber I need to untangle and twist them other. Here we already have a circulating solution. I imagine even a potential difference like the Perpetual Battery - Powered By Water from Jun. 19th 2020 with aluminum and brass. On the inside of the blender a potential difference would be created in situ. Then again, battery voltage, or high voltage could be easily added. I don’t know how to validate the outcome.
