Synthesis and Preparation

In our lab we have established many synthetic and preparation processes such as high-shear liquid exfoliation, ball milling, CVD, electrochemical, microwave, thermal and plasma to make broad range of FLG graphene and 2D materials. These materials are available to our industry partner and collaborators. Specific materials can be prepared and customized on request
