Engineers Innovate Scalable, High-Quality Graphene Production

Engineers at Columbia University have developed an oxygen-free chemical vapor deposition (OF-CVD) method to produce high-quality graphene at scale. This new technique eliminates trace oxygen, which previously hindered the growth and quality of graphene, allowing for reproducible and large-scale synthesis. The resulting graphene samples exhibit properties comparable to those of exfoliated graphene, marking a significant step towards industrial applications of this "wonder material."
