A process can be used for the functionalization of graphene material by mixing graphene material with at least one silane. The functionalized graphene material is useful, for example, in thermoplastics.

The present disclosure relates to a system (100) for manufacturing spheroidized graphite powder, the system includes a feeder (104) adapted to convey primarily crushed particles to a grinding section (106). A first classifier (108) is located at the top portion of the chamber and is configured to receive the milled particles and adapted to separate the milled particles into a first particle and a second particle. A controller (112) operatively coupled to the one or more motors (110), the controller configured to operate the one or more motors at progressively varying RPM, at higher RPM it cuts the rough edges of the particle to form the first fine graphite particle and second shaped graphite particle and when the it RPM decreased to lower level, the surface smoothening of shaped particle process occurs, which results smooth surfaced spherical graphite.

The present invention is concerned with a method of direct synthesis of co-products of at a first co-product and a second co-product. The first co-product is superhydrophilic carbon nitride thin film and the second co-product is superhydrophilic carbon nitride powder. The method has a step of using a guanidine carbonate salt as a precursor material. The present invention is also concerned with carbon nitride co-products. The carbon nitride co-products has a first co-product of superhydrophilic carbon nitride thin film and a second co-product of superhydrophilic carbon nitride powder. The superhydrophilic carbon nitride thin film has chemical formula of CN.sub.x, wherein x is 0.86-1.04, and the superhydrophilic carbon nitride powder has a chemical formula of g-C.sub.3N.sub.4.
