Electrochemical exfoliation is a top-down method recognized for its environmentally friendly and scalable approach for producing solution-processable graphene. Among its variation, cathodic exfoliation stands out for its potential in generating few-layer graphene with minimal defects. In this study, we developed a cathodic exfoliation method for graphite foil using a binary solvent system to produce graphene with a reduced number of layers. By employing a 0.1 M LiClO4 solution in a dimethyl sulfoxide and dimethyl carbonate solvents mixture at a 1:2 vol ratio, we enhanced the intercalation of solvated lithium ions into graphite, successfully exfoliating graphene with 5–6 layers. The exfoliated graphene exhibited a low defect density (ID/IG ∼0.05) and a C/O ratio of 33.2. Furthermore, when used as a coating on a separator, the exfoliated few-layered graphene (FLG) sheets demonstrated notable performance as a protective layer for Li metal anode in Li metal battery technology.
