In this study, we report the synthesis of few-layer graphene via ultrasonic treatment of a graphite-benzene solution at room temperature. Raman spectroscopy revealed a significant reduction in the intensity ratio of the G and 2D peaks for samples subjected to 20 min of treatment, indicating a decrease in defect density and oxidation. Prolonged treatment times led to fragmentation of the graphene sheets, which facilitated restacking, as evidenced by Raman spectroscopy and microscopy. FTIR analysis confirmed the complete removal of the solvent from the extracted and dried graphene. Additionally, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) measurements indicated the presence of carbon-based magnetism in the synthesized samples, suggesting potential applications in spintronic devices. Our findings highlight the effectiveness of ultrasonic treatment for producing high-quality few-layer graphene with desirable structural and magnetic properties.
