Graphene Synthesis: Controllable Synthesis of Graphene and Its Applications (Adv. Mater. 30/2010)

Controllable synthesis of graphene is of great importance for both fundamental research and practical applications. Recent advances in synthesizing graphene with controllable size, shapes, edges, layers, doping, and assembly is detailed in the Progress Report by Dacheng Wei and Yunqi Liu on p. 3225. The report also discusses applications, clarifies existing problems, and looks to the prospects for future development.
