Researchers at Rutgers University have developed a method for producing high-quality graphene by treating exfoliated graphene oxide in a microwave oven for one second. This technique significantly removes oxygen, which is known to degrade graphene's properties.

The discovery is particularly important for large-scale graphene production, which is essential for applications such as printable electronics and fuel cell catalysts. The study was supported by the National Science Foundation and published in the journal Science.
