SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on the dissolution of solid Strontium for incorporation into graphene conductive dispersions. Participants emphasize that Strontium, being an alkaline metal, cannot be simply dissolved without a chemical reaction. The recommended approach involves using an electrolyte such as potassium hydroxide (KOH) or sodium hydroxide (NaOH) to facilitate the dissolution process. Additionally, the use of a conductive dispersion containing graphite, n-Butyl Acetate, and Ethyl Cellulose is highlighted as essential for achieving the desired outcome.
