"Since its inception in 2004, graphene research has become so fragmented that keeping up with its progress alone has become a daunting task—yet application of graphene’s extraordinary properties remains as elusive as ever. This handbook focuses on the fabrication of graphene, providing the newest findings on the strategies for obtaining desired structures ranging from large-scale single-layer graphene sheets, to graphene nanocomposites, to atomically precise graphene nanoribbons; for the purpose of future device fabrication. This volume not only reports on the progress of familiar fabrication methods (e.g., chemical vapor deposition, graphene oxide reduction, etc.), but it also reports on more unconventional methods, such as electrochemical and flame syntheses. It is a comprehensive collection of the cutting-edge graphene-fabrication advances to date—an essential reference for anyone interested in the application of graphene’s revolutionary properties."
