Vibrational exfoliation - a sustainable method for producing graphene
Video Summary
Dr Jason Stafford, from the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Birmingham, explains how a novel method for producing conductors, semiconductors and electronic insulators uses vibrational energy to ‘split’ and ‘peel off’ molecular-thin layers of material. Dr Stafford and his research team have demonstrated a new technique for creating 2D materials that runs at room temperature and increases production rates tenfold over current methods, without using toxic solvents.
