Graphene production process: oxidative exfoliation

How to produce graphene from the oxidative exfoliation... Graphene

Oxidative exfoliation: the process Also called Hummers’ method, the oxidative exfoliation process is one of the most ancient ones to produce graphene, and is still widely used. Indeed, its industrialization is relatively straightforward, since the industrial technique is well known. For this exfoliation method, graphite is commonly oxidized under harsh conditions to obtain graphite oxide. […]

Graphene production process: mechanical exfoliation

How to produce graphene from the mechanical exfoliation... Graphene

Mechanical exfoliation: the process This method was first described in 2008 in order to answer the needs for a scalable production process to produce graphene. This top-down method requires mechanical energy in order to exfoliate graphite. Most commonly, techniques like sonication or high-shear-mixing are utilized. To obtain stable dispersions, it is necessary to add a […]

Graphene production process: Chemical Vapour Deposition

How to produce graphene by Chemical Vapour Deposition? Graphene

Chemical Vapour Deposition: The process Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) is the only bottom-up production method for graphene whichis used in an industrial environment. Here, carbon containing gases, such as methane, are brought in contact with a metal surface under high temperatures (1000°C) and high pressure. Subsequently, the graphene honeycomb structure is formed on the metal […]
