In this work, we report a simple and advanced approach to fabricate graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) in the industrial scale. In this method, GNPs is obtained from the natural graphite in a single step of exfoliation with sulphuric acid 100% and oxidizing agents. The morphology and properties of GNPs is characterized by using SEM, EDS, XRD, and TEM. The resultant GNPs are 10-20μm in diameter, 5-15nm in thickness, and the bulk density of 0.015 g ml-1.
