TL;DR: An overview of the key aspects of graphene and related materials, ranging from fundamental research challenges to a variety of applications in a large number of sectors, highlighting the steps necessary to take GRMs from a state of raw potential to a point where they might revolutionize multiple industries are provided.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an overview of the main techniques for production and processing of graphene and related materials (GRMs), as well as the key characterization procedures, adopting a 'hands-on' approach, providing practical details and procedures as derived from literature and from the authors' experience, in order to enable the reader to reproduce the results.

TL;DR: In this paper, the exfoliation process and roughening of graphite substrate is directly visualized at the nanoscale by scanning probe and electron microscopy, and the etching damage in graphite and the properties of the ex-foliated sheets are compared by Raman spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis.

TL;DR: In this paper, a series of Au and Au-Cu-containing catalysts based on different carriers such as TiO2 and CeO2 were studied with a view to increasing the activity and selectivity in 5-hydroxymethylfurfural oxidation by optimizing the interaction both between the metals and with the support.
