Self-sustained solid-state exothermic reaction for scalable graphene production

Synthesis of graphene at high temperature offers an alternative route for large-scale production on a short time scale. Through the solid-state exothermic reaction of the polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)-Al energetic material, single and few-layer graphene having a lateral size in tens of nanometers a...
