From Trash To Flash GRAPHENE [2020]

Finding cheaper ways to make high quality graphene in bulk, took the scientific world by storm and so far, there are at least 16 different methods of making it but few of them are capable of mass production at a low cost and high quality.
As of current times the price of graphene per kilogram stands in between $67 - $200 dollars per kilogram depending on the overall quality of the end product. It is only a few hundreds of dollars away from silver at $579/kg.
But to bring the price down one would have to miraculously solve many of the other methods problems such as; be able make graphene out of almost anything that is carbon rich, get rid of solvents or chemical additives, no special environments like vacuum or inert gas atmosphere, and lastly it has to yield large quantities of usable graphene.
