Good day everyone,
I am a third year undergraduate Physics student, and for my solid state physics course I am asked to give a short (10 minute) qualitative presentation on the current standings of graphene production, about what can be done right now, what is expected to be doable in the near future, what the current problems are that have to be solved, etcetera.
However, I am having quite some trouble in finding suitable sources. It is of course such a hot topic that new papers come out basically every day, and it is hard to find 'objective' sources that don't just talk about how a specific company has found the new, best way to do it. I suppose this is a bit of a non-traditional question to ask, but I was wondering if someone could help me out by pointing me towards some reliable, recent sources. A review article would be optimal, but of course as it is such a swiftly changing field this might be difficult.
What I plan on doing at this point is structuring my presentation along these rough lines
To start with, talk about how the 'first' graphene was made, using the scotch tape. Everyone I will talk to knows this, but it is still nice to see, especially with good pictures. I will then move on to what can already be done: several techniques that exist and that are being implemented as we speak, and what exactly they produce (multilayer graphene instead of monolayer, for example), and what the problems are that 'we' are currently facing in producing good graphene. Then I would like to talk about what is on the horizon, and on what timescales we expect what.
If anyone has any comments on this (improvements or things I should definitely include) I would also be very happy to read them.
Kind regards
