Researchers make defect free graphene for first time which can be used in flexible displays

December 5, 2016

Briefing

  • Defect-free graphene – German and Austrian researchers discovered adding a solvent benzonitrile allows graphene to be exfoliated with no functional groups forming, producing high guality graphene without defects
  • Advantages of method – Include scalability, lower cost and enables measurement of electronic properties
  • Implication – Makes it possible for semiconductor industry to scale use of graphene such as making transparent electrodes for flexible displays
