    abstract = {Graphene-Like Graphite (GLG) samples were
prepared using sand and sugar composite as a precursor.
GLG was synthesized using solution chemical technique.
The produced composite materials dried at a temperature
of 120°C in an oven to form a black powder composite
material. The structure of the composite was revealed by
XRD with narrow diffraction peaks (002) (010) and (004)
at 2 = 26.603°, 42.466° and 54.794° with d-spacing of
3.34800 Å, 2.12696 Å and 1.67400 Å, respectively. The
average grain size of the material is 599.54Å. Preferential
crystal orientations obtained from texture coefficient of
the peaks are 2.614, 10.18 and 5.029, respectively. The
material shows hexagonal crystal structure with lattice
parameters of a = b = 2.4560 and c = 6.6960. SEM with
EDX also revealed the morphological and elemental
composition of the samples. The SEM images show
flake-type GLG and EDX analysis shows the presence of
carbon, oxygen, silicon and sulphur at 34.02% at 45.36%
at 18.86% at and 1.75% at respectively. The material
obtained is potential for solid-state batteries due to
flake-type structure that enhance large surface area
creation for chemical interaction. This technique may
provide economical and environmentally friendly
approaches for graphene-like graphite in large scale.}
