Abstract
Top-down exfoliation is one of the most promising approaches for the scalable production of 2D materials, but the current techniques are limited by low yield of monolayers. Here, the authors report the exfoliation of graphene and other layered materials via viscous-polymer-assisted ball-milling, leading to a production of graphene products with monolayer percentage up to 97.9% at a yield of 78.3%.
