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.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of alkaline metals and their chemical properties
  • Knowledge of electrolyte solutions, specifically KOH and NaOH
  • Familiarity with graphene conductive dispersions and their components
  • Basic chemistry skills for safe handling and mixing of reactive materials
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the chemical properties and reactivity of Strontium metal
  • Explore safe methods for preparing and handling alkaline metals
  • Learn about the formulation of graphene conductive dispersions
  • Investigate the effects of different electrolytes on metal dissolution
USEFUL FOR

Chemists, materials scientists, and researchers involved in nanotechnology or graphene applications will benefit from this discussion.

How do you chemically dissolve Strontium in it's solid form? (It's an alkaline metal)

I need it in some kind of liquid form or flakes (I was thinking of just shaving it down but that might not be as efficient nor very safe) so I can then put it into another solution of graphene conductive dispersion.

Graphene conductive dispersion: graphite, n-Butyl Acetate, Ethyl Cellulose - https://graphene-supermarket.com/Conductive-Graphene-Dispersion-100.html
I'm planning on mixing it with an electrolyte such as KOH or NaOH

However, how do you get Strontium metal prepared so it will dissolve in the solution?

Without reaction? You don't.
