Methods of obtaining graphene

Graphene was first obtained at the beginning of the 21st century, and since then various methods have been developed for its synthesis. This variety is explained by the natural layered structure of graphite. A large number of methods is based on the idea of separating graphite layers. They are considered relatively cheap, productive and available in almost all laboratories.

Another group of graphene synthesis methods is based on the concept of creating graphene sheets from individual carbon atoms. These methods are technologically more complex and require appropriate specialized equipment.

Due to the wide range of graphene synthesis methods and their availability, researchers from all over the world can conduct experiments with this unique material in various scientific fields. This makes graphene an extremely promising object for further scientific research.
