Researchers from Northern Illinois University (NIU) discovered a simple method for producing high yields of graphene - by burning pure magnesium metal in dry ice. It is widely known that burning magnesium metal in carbon dioxide produces carbon. But using it to create graphene by placing it on dry ice is new. This method produces few-layer graphene and is simple, green and cost-effective.
