A review of synthesis of large area graphene by electrophoretic method

Graphene has emerged as an exotic material of the 21st century, and received world-wide attention due to its exceptional charge transport, thermal, optical, and mechanical properties. However, the severe chemical conditions required to prepare graphene from naturally occurring graphite has become the biggest limiting factor for high scale graphene production and commercialization. Several approaches have been reported for obtaining single graphene sheets on substrates including the original micromechanical cleavage scotch tape method involving the repeated exfoliation of graphite mesas; however, this method gives a very low yield of typically sub 100 micro meter graphene. The present review paper provides a comparing between synthesizing graphene utilizing electrophoretic deposition and other methods.
