Researchers say graphene flakes can be used as catalysts for chemical reactions

Researchers from The University of Western Australia report that graphene flakes can be used as catalysts for chemical reactions. The researchers made their discovery using computer simulations.

This is still an early research. The team now wants to extend the scope of their calculations and find out whether more chemical reactions can benefit from graphene. In addition they want to check larger graphene sheets and not just flakes.
