Abstract
In order to prepare a highly conductive and highly dispersible graphene powder and to obtain an electrode for a lithium ion battery with excellent performance utilizing the highly conductive and highly dispersible graphene, a graphene powder and a preparation method thereof is provided. The graphene powder comprises a compound having a catechol group adsorbing on the surface of graphene in a weight ratio of 5-50% relative to the grapheme and the element ratio of oxygen to carbon in the graphene powder measured by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy is 0.06 or more and 0.20 or less. The method for producing a graphene powder comprise the step of reducing a graphite oxide with a reducing agent having no catechol group in the presence of a compound having a catechol group.
