Fully exploiting the properties of graphene will require a method for the mass production of this remarkable material. The dispersion and exfoliation of graphite in organic solvents can produce graphene monolayers with a yield of about 1% by weight. Moreover, these samples are free from defects and oxides, and can be used to produce semi-transparent conducting films and conducting composites.
