Popis: In this work, we aimed to prepare graphene with high concentration ( C _G ) or quality (indicated by I _D / I _G ) by sonication-assisted exfoliation in aqueous sulfonated asphalt (SAS) solution. The highest C _G can reach 0.181 mg ml ^−1 , while the smallest I _D / I _G is only 0.331 in the investigated range. Meanwhile, we observed that C _G and I _D / I _G changed in the opposite trend with the increase of SAS concentration, and reached their extreme values simultaneously. This was attributed to SAS’s agglomeration-induced redistribution of total energy absorbed by graphite between exfoliation and crushing. The graphene size was mainly within 100–400 nm and most of layer number was
