Carbon monoxide turns into large defectless graphene crystal under ambient pressure

Researchers from Skoltech, MIPT, the RAS Institute of Solid State Physics, Aalto University, and elsewhere have proposed the first graphene synthesis technique that utilizes carbon monoxide as the carbon source. It is a fast and cheap way to produce high-quality graphene with relatively simple equipment for use in electronic circuits, gas sensors, optics, and beyond. The study came out in the journal Advanced Science.
