Key findings report CVD having the largest potential for large-scale production for most applications with lower quality requirements, while exfoliation of graphite produces lower quality graphene for applications that do not need large sheets of graphene. Currently, CVD has been able to produce sheets of graphene with diagonal sizes of 40", with high transparency. Using the roll-to-roll method, these sheets have proven viable on flexible touchscreen devices.
