Graphene production technique makes revolutionary 'wonder material' 1,000-times cheaper

Graphene production technique makes revolutionary 'wonder material' 1,000-times cheaper


A PhD student in the Netherlands has demonstrated a technique that could cut the cost of producing graphene by a factor of a thousand, opening up the real-world potential of the so-called "wonder material". Shou-En Zhu from the Delft University of Technology described in his thesis how chemical vapour deposition of methane on a copper sheet can create graphene crystals that align together to form an "endless sheet" of pure graphene.
