Yes, it is. My understanding is that there are still barriers to producing enough graphene at a large enough scale to make many of its uses commercially viable

- MetallicCloud 10y agoThis is mentioned at the start of the article. They are using graphene oxide which is much easier to create at scale.
- johncolanduoni 10y agoProduction appears to be what they are improving here: > But it has been difficult to produce large quantities of single-layer graphene using existing methods, such as chemical vapour deposition (CVD). Current production routes are also quite costly. > On the other hand, said Dr Nair, "graphene oxide can be produced by simple oxidation in the lab". > "In terms of scalability and the cost of the material, graphene oxide has a potential advantage over single-layered graphene."
