Top-down synthesis of graphene: A comprehensive review
Abstract
Abstract Graphene research has become an emerging frontier in materials science because of its potential as a versatile material in multiple applications, from electronics, sensors, water treatment, batteries, displays, advanced composites, and coatings to biomedical applications. While the community has witnessed tremendous advances in the laboratory-scale synthesis of graphene, it is crucial to focus on sustainable large-scale graphene production to adopt graphene-based technology at an industrial scale. Several top-down and bottom-up methods have been developed to realize affordable graphene production. However, a low-cost scalable graphene production method with acceptable quality remains a challenge; top-down processes are demonstrating their potential to offer a more straightforward solution. Herein, we present an overview of recent progress in the research and development of top-down graphene synthesis methods and their potential to scale-up graphene production. We cover the effect of different synthesis parameters on the quality control of graphene. In addition, we provide a brief overview of bottom-up methods. Finally, we discuss the existing challenges and future directions in top-down methods for large-scale graphene production.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
