This Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I project aims to develop a highly-efficient and cost-effective plasma-based method for graphene mass production. The approach is to utilize unique properties of magnetically controlled arc discharge to couple the plasma production of carbon species and the synthesis of graphene.The broader/commercial impact of this project will be the potential to enable the mass production of graphene for energy, electronics, aerospace, mechanical, civil, and biomedical applications. Since it was first created in the lab, graphene has been considered as a wonder material. Its distinctive electronic properties make it a leading candidate to replace silicon in applications ranging from high-speed computer chips to biochemical sensors. However, the mass production of high-yield and low-cost graphene is very challenging. This project is expected to provide a method for producing graphene in a scalable and cost-effective manner, which would make it easier for the wide adoption of graphene in the future.

该小型企业技术转让（STTR）第一阶段项目旨在开发一种高效且经济高效的基于等离子体的石墨烯大规模生产方法。 该方法是利用磁控电弧放电的独特特性将碳物质的等离子体生产与石墨烯的合成耦合起来。该项目更广泛/商业的影响将是能够大规模生产用于能源、电子、航空航天、机械、民用和生物医学应用。 自从首次在实验室中产生以来，石墨烯一直被认为是一种神奇的材料。 其独特的电子特性使其成为从高速计算机芯片到生化传感器等应用中替代硅的主要候选者。 然而，高产率、低成本的石墨烯的大规模生产非常具有挑战性。 该项目预计将提供一种以可扩展且经济高效的方式生产石墨烯的方法，这将使石墨烯在未来的广泛采用变得更加容易。
