Abstract This paper reports two binary-solvent systems, i.e. dimethylformamide/n-butylalcohol system and dimethylformamide/ethanol system that facilitate higher concentration and improved stability of graphene dispersion. Hydrogen bond was introduced to explain the exfoliation mechanism and stabilizing mechanism. At the same time, it was found that Hansen solubility theory was not suitable for the chosen binary solvent systems. Furthermore, the topography and nanostructure of graphene were characterized by atomic force microscopy (AFM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Raman spectroscopy. The absorbance coefficient of graphene dispersion was obtained by UV-Vis spectra. Finally, a graphene dispersion that predominantly containing single-layer graphene was obtained after 6 000 r/min centrifugation.
