摘要

Over the past few years the utilisation of graphene in various areas of industry has strongly intensified [1].Applications in thermal management,composite materials and energy consume an increasing amount of this two-dimensional (2D) material in the form of powder or colloidal suspensions [2].Different applications,however,require different forms of this 2D crystal.Thus,composite materials would benefit from large (a few microns),one to a few layers thick,moderately functionalised crystals to facilitate the most efficient stress transfer,and energy applications (batteries) would require slightly functionalised monolayer flakes with a broad distribution of sizes in order to create a fractal conducting network.
