We offer a brief overview of the solvent-based graphene production andsummarize the current knowledge on the formation mechanism of graphite oxidethat proceeds via graphite intercalation compounds. In addition, the results ofour in situ X-ray diffraction investigation into this process are presented,discussed and contrasted to the findings by other authors, who employed thesame oxidation protocol but examined the samples by ex situ X-ray diffraction.Our results suggest that, contrary to the numerous reports by other authors, nostrong crystalline order, unique to graphite intercalation compounds as well asgraphite oxide, develops if they remain in concentrated acid. Furthermore, italso appears that, depending on the concentration, sulfuric acid moleculessignificantly weaken graphene-graphene interactions in graphite. Consequently,concentrated sulfuric acid may be a good solvent for graphene dispersions, ifonly there is sufficient energy input to separate the layers of graphene.
