Great article. IMO, CVD is the most promising scalable, manufacturing method, but the following advances have to happen: - Able to grow Graphene of arbitrary thickness on a wide variety of surfaces - Achieving CVD at low temperature - Control of grain size, ripples, doping level, and number of layers - Coming up with a cost-effective way to handle to the Transfer step, or eliminating it entirely As the current market for graphene applications is driven by the production of this material, there is a clear hierarchy in how soon the applications will reach the user or consumer. Those that use the lowest- grade, cheapest and most available material will be the first to appear, probably in a few years, and those which require the highest, electronic- quality grades or biocompatibility may well take decades to develop.Also, because developments in the last few years were extremely rapid,graphene’s prospects continue to improve.
