A graphene material prepared using waste tires and a preparation method thereof. Waste tires are crushed to 30-200 meshes to obtain tire powders. The tire powders are mixed with KOH or an aqueous solution of KOH to obtain a homogeneous mixture. The mixture is dried at 50-90° C. for 12-48 hours, heated and calcinated in a tube furnace under a protective gas for 1-48 hour to obtain a black lump. The black lump is washed with distilled water, dilute hydrochloric acid or dilute sulfuric acid for at least 3 times, and then washed with deionized water for at least 3 times to obtain a black powder. The black powder is dried to obtain the graphene material. The graphene material has a three-dimensional structure composed of oligolayer graphene intertwined and connected with each other, has a high crystallinity, is not easily agglomerated, and thus can maintain nano-effect of the graphene material.

Titanium dioxide and an electro-conductive titanium oxide which each includes particles having a large major-axis length in a large proportion and comprises columnar particles having a satisfactory particle size distribution. A titanium compound, an alkali metal compound, and an oxyphosphorus compound are heated/fired in the presence of titanium dioxide nucleus crystals having an aspect ratio of 2 or higher to grow the titanium dioxide nucleus crystals. Subsequently, a titanium compound, an alkali metal compound, and an oxyphosphorus compound are further added and heated/fired in the presence of the grown titanium dioxide nucleus crystals. Thus, titanium dioxide is produced which comprises columnar particles having a weight-average major-axis length of 7.0-15.0 μm and in which particles having a major-axis length of 10 μm or longer account for 15 wt. % or more of all the particles. A solution of a tin compound and a solution of compounds of antimony, phosphorus, etc. are added to a suspension obtained by suspending the titanium dioxide. The particles are sedimented. Subsequently, the product obtained is heated/fired to produce an electro-conductive titanium oxide which comprises the titanium dioxide and an electro-conductive coating formed on the surface thereof.
