Persian waxing of graphite: towards green large-scale production of graphene

Abstract

Large quantities of high-quality graphene has been produced through a green and up-scalable method based on the exfoliation and dispersion of graphene in a sugar-based wax, by mimicking the Scotch tape approach to enable the production of graphene paste with unprecedently high concentration of 30% in weight exhibiting ultrahigh stability.
