Discussion Overview

The discussion centers on the chemical dissolution of solid strontium for use in graphene conductive dispersions. Participants explore methods for preparing strontium in a suitable form for mixing with other components, including electrolytes.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Technical explanation, Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant inquires about methods to chemically dissolve solid strontium, considering safety and efficiency in the process.
  • Another participant seeks clarification on the intended use of strontium in a graphene conductive dispersion, specifically mentioning the components involved.
  • A participant provides a link to a product related to graphene conductive dispersion and outlines plans to mix strontium with an electrolyte like KOH or NaOH.
  • There is a challenge raised regarding the feasibility of dissolving strontium in the solution without a reaction occurring.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express uncertainty about the methods for dissolving strontium and whether it can be done without a reaction with the electrolyte. There is no consensus on a specific approach or solution.

Contextual Notes

Limitations include the potential safety concerns with handling solid strontium and the need for clarity on the chemical interactions involved in the proposed dissolution process.

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.
