• Resumen

  • Aron features a simple recipe that can mass-produce graphene. Jonathan Coleman's team put graphite powder and a solvent fluid in a laboratory mixer and set its pinning. Analysis with an electron microscope confirmed that they had produced graphene at a rate of about five grams an hour. To find out how easy it is to scale up the process, they trialled different motors and solvents. They found that a kitchen blender and Fairy Liquid, a UK brand of washing-up liquid, would also do the job.
