At temperatures above 700 degrees Celsius, ethylene or ethane can form a single layer of graphene. The results of this research add a bit of possibility to the mass production of graphene. Scientists from the Georgia Institute of Technology, the University of Munich, and the University of St. Andrews in Scotland believe that since graphene is made up of carbon atoms, they decided to make graphene from the most basic combination of carbon atoms, ethylene. According to Grantman, a professor at Georgia Tech, "When the temperature rises, the hydrogen molecules in the ethylene are burned out, leaving the graphene with a fairly tight structure." Since its discovery in 2004, graphene has been regarded as the perfect material due to its excellent capacitive properties, high efficiency of electrothermal conduction, almost transparent and biodegradable. In addition, graphene is also 200 times stronger than steel, but the disadvantage is that it is difficult to manufacture.

New method of making graphene: ethylene treated by high temperature process
Many people know that graphene is crucial for the future development of engineering and technology, but unfortunately this precious material is very difficult to manufacture. Recently, a group of scientists published an important discovery in The Journal of Physical Chemistry:
