title: Increased solubility and fiber spinning of graphenide dispersions aided by crown-ethers.
abstract: Graphenide solutions in NMP have been prepared by dispersing potassium intercalated graphite with the assistance of 18-crown-6. The highest graphenide solubility achieved is 1.5 mg mL-1. Graphenide solutions have been applied to spin graphene/SWCNT hybrid fibers.
