    The present study investigates the possibility of obtaining graphene-like phases (defected graphene, graphene oxide, and reduced graphene oxide) as fine suspensions by applying a novel pulsed laser ablation (PLA) approach in flow mode. Two types of suspensions of microcrystalline graphite in aqueous suspensions and two types of microcrystalline graphite in suspensions of 6% hydrogen peroxide solution were irradiated in a quartz tube through which they flow. The third (λ = 355 nm) and fourth harmonics (λ = 266 nm) of an Nd:YAG laser system (15 ns pulse duration and 10 Hz pulse repetition rate) were used. The morphology of the obtained particles was studied by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Their phase composition and structure were explored by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray diffractometry, and Raman spectroscopy.
