A rapidly increasing list of graphene production techniques have been developed to enable graphene's use in commercial applications. [1]Isolated 2D crystals cannot be grown via chemical synthesis beyond small sizes even in principle, because the rapid growth of phonon density with increasing lateral size forces 2D crystallites to bend into the third dimension.

Graphene is the only form of carbon (or solid material) in which every atom is available for chemical reaction from two sides (due to the 2D structure). Atoms at the edges of a graphene sheet have special chemical reactivity. Graphene has the highest ratio of edge atoms of any allotrope. Defects within a sheet increase its chemical reactivity ...
One of the earliest transmission electron microscope images of a graphene nanosheet produced by liquid phase exfoliation (exfoliated by the Dublin group in 2007). [ 13 ] Liquid phase exfoliation was first described in detail in a paper by a research team in Ireland in 2008, [ 14 ] although a very short description of a similar process was ...
The thermal decomposition process of SiC in high / ultra high vacuum works out well and appears promising for large-scale production of devices on graphene basis. But still, there are some problems that have to be solved. Using this technique, the resulting graphene consists of small grains with varying thickness (30–200 nm).
Neither of the earlier observations was sufficient to launch the "graphene gold rush" that awaited macroscopic samples of extracted atomic planes. One of the first patents pertaining to the production of graphene was filed in October 2002 and granted in 2006. [24] It detailed one of the first large scale graphene production processes.
As a result, the integrity of the crystal lattice is destroyed, and the quality of graphene is deteriorated. [26] Therefore, by optimizing the flow rate of methane and hydrogen gases in the growth process, the quality of graphene can be improved. Use of catalyst; The use of catalyst is viable in changing the physical process of graphene production.
Log9 Materials is an Indian nanotechnology company, headquartered in Bangalore, [2] operating in the areas of sustainable energy and filtration.With 16 patents around Graphene, Log9 Materials has developed Aluminium–air battery, aluminium fuel cells for both mobility and stationary energy applications.
Graphite oxide captured the attention of the scientific community after the discovery of graphene in 2004. Many teams are looking into ways of using graphite oxide as a shortcut to mass production of graphene. So far, the materials produced by these methods have shown to have more defects than those produced directly from graphite.
