Low temperature graphene growth opens a route to sustainable resource recycling

Graphene researchers have cleared a major hurdle in production efficiency, per Phys.org. The material — used in batteries, catalysts, and electronic devices — has been challenging to manufacture because it typically requires temperatures as high as nine hundred degrees Celsius. That extreme heat limits energy efficiency and makes it difficult to control the material's structure. A recent study has overcome this barrier, opening the way to more practical graphene manufacturing.
