Electrochemistry has emerged as a major route for graphene and graphene oxide synthesis from graphite. Anodic graphite oxidation is commonly used with dilute mineral acid or aqueous salt electrolytes. In this system, the electrolyte acid concentration appears to be a critical parameter. However, the effect of the acid concentration, particularly at low concentrations, is still not fully understood. To address this issue, we used a packed bed electrochemical reactor to synthesize seven different electrochemical graphite oxide (EGO) products in 2–16 M sulfuric acid. Detailed XRD, XPS, Raman, conductivity and optical microscopy analysis of the products was carried out. We found dilute acid (
