Scientists have developed an innovative and potentially groundbreaking method to produce high-quality graphene of a consistent size and in large amounts.
Micrometre-sized flakes of graphene were obtained from graphite powder – most commonly found in pencil lead – by adding it to a mixture of water and Fairy Liquid and spinning it in a kitchen blender.The research, recently published in Nature Materials, was led by Professor Jonathan Coleman at the Advanced Materials and BioEngineering Research (Amber) centre at Trinity College Dublin.
“It is a significant step forward towards cheap and scalable mass production,” said Andrea Ferrari, an expert on graphene at the University of Cambridge.
