Graphene has drawn attention as a scientific curiosity owing to its record conductivities, strength and thermal properties.

A reaction that puzzled scientists for 50 years has now been explained by researchers at Ume University. Rapid structural snapshots captured how graphite transforms into graphite oxide during ...

image: Natural graphite, used as the precursor for graphene oxide production, is a highly ordered crystalline inorganic material, which is believed to be formed by decay of organic matter. It is ...

Currently, a number of techniques are used to produce graphene and these include epitaxial growth, chemical vapour deposition (CVD), and thermal or mechanical exfoliation. Large scale production of ...

WHAT ARE THE KEYS to designing a material that rivets researchers' attention? Rare and precious elements? Previously unknown bonding configurations? How about fascinating molecular and geometric ...

Research institutions around the world are exploring ways to transform the production of high-quality sheets. One way to achieve this cost effectively is by the reduction of graphene oxide into rGO, ...

An allotrope of carbon, graphene exists as a two-dimensional (2D) planar sheet and can be regarded as a single atomic graphite layer. Technically, graphene is a non-metal but it is usually known as a ...
