Graphene Synthesis and Its Implications on Electrical Properties: A Comparative Study

This study investigates the impact of graphene synthesis techniques such as chemical exfoliation, chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and liquid phase exfoliation (LPE) on electrical conductivity. The objective is to understand how variations in synthesis methods influence the morphology of graphene and, consequently, its electrical characteristics. Synthesis techniques are explored in detail to identify how each process affects the structure and electrical performance of graphene. The results indicate that chemical exfoliation introduces more defects into the graphene structure, potentially reducing its electrical conductivity, while the CVD method tends to produce graphene with greater uniformity and superior conductivity. LPE, on the other hand, offers a balance between quality and production efficiency, making it particularly promising for large-scale applications. The study provides valuable information for selecting synthesis methods based on specific graphene application requirements. The findings could facilitate the development of more efficient materials for advanced electronics, contributing to the optimization of industrial graphene production processes and promoting significant advances in materials technology.
