(2) compared with the existing mass-produced graphene, the maximum oxygen content of the low-oxidation-degree graphene is not more than 10%, the size of the low-oxidation-degree graphene exceeds 2 microns, and the number of layers is less than 8, so that the low-cost large-scale preparation of the graphene is favorably realized;

(3) Cleaning and extracting: dissolving the precipitate obtained by the reaction in the step (2) in N-N dimethylformamide, wherein the addition amount of the N-N dimethylformamide is 1ml/mg of the precipitate; performing ultrasonic treatment for 30 minutes at the power of 240W at room temperature to obtain a solution D, centrifuging the solution D at the speed of 3000rpm for 30 minutes, cleaning and recycling the lower-layer precipitate after centrifugation, and reusing the lower-layer precipitate for preparing the positive electrode reactant A in the step (1); filtering and washing the centrifuged supernatant for 10 times by using deionized water to obtain separated solids;
(4) and (3) drying: freeze-drying the solid separated in the step (3) to obtain graphene; the obtained graphene has an oxygen content of about 12%, a size of more than 2 μm, and a number of layers of less than 15.
