contemporary bottom-up and top-down production approaches have evolved over the last ten years. The aim of the current review, therefore, is to provide an overview of the present status of large-scale graphene production. Particular emphasis is placed on the top-down route, highlighting the mechanisms, dispersion, advantages and limitations of the existing techniques. Non-oxidizing liquid- phase exfoliation has shown potential for scaling-up the production of high quality graphene within this domain. 2. Publications and patents The emerging area of graphene production is receiving extensive attention, and a continuation of these research efforts can only benefit the future implementation of efficient production technologies. Within the broader context of graphene research activities, however, investigations on production are a fraction of the total. This is illustrated in Figure 1 by the number of publications and patents on these topics since 2000. As of 2016, publications under the topic of graphene production account for less than 5% of the total. Although it is a relatively low contribution (It is worth noting that the search terms “graphene” and “production” do not capture all studies on graphene production), the outlook appears promising when the yearly growth is examined from this historical information. FIG 1 The trends in research activities over the 2000-2016 duration are presented in Figure 2. For both graphene and graphene production, there are two trends which describe a before and after state when research efforts increased considerably. For graphene research, there is no doubt that the breakthrough by Novoselov et al. 2 changed the broader graphene research path. The scientific output increased two orders of magnitude over a decade from this point in time. Figure 2 also shows that an equivalent point in time, where attention on the production of graphene began to increase, arrived about two years later. Since 2007, the rate of scientific output in this field has grown each year to a cubic power law ~ t3. Given that this output is growing at a rate that is slightly above the overall graphene research 11PDF Image | graphene production via nonoxidizing liquid exfoliation
