Vertically oriented graphene flakes deposited during electric field assisted laser ablation of carbon targets in water

摘要

The discovery of graphene has stimulated enormous interest on 2D carbon nanostructure in view of their extraordinary properties and potential applications. A challenge has always been to identify a high yield production pathway, suitable to give graphene or graphene-like structures without collateral structural damage and with the possibility to manipulate the layers (individually or collectively) in order to have a particular arrangement for given applications.
