What is Graphene?
Pristine Graphene is a form of carbon consisting of planar sheets which are one atom thick, with the atoms arranged in a honeycomb-shaped lattice.
Top Down
- Mechanical or chemical exfoliation of Graphite Often has relative high crystal quality
- Graphite source – effects product can be contaminated by organic impurities
- Difficult to control the number of graphene layers accurately
Bottom Up Synthesis
- Produced by molecular growth from carbon precursors
- Number of layers can be controlled using different substrate catalysts and growing/reaction parameters
- Can gives large surface area and high purity products
- Offers a high quality approach for mass production with consistent batch to batch multi layer Graphene
