Unravelling the optimization of few-layer graphene crystallinity and electrical conductivity in ceramic composites by Raman spectroscopy

Zirconia composites with few-layer graphene (FLG) were prepared by two powder processing routines -ultrasonic agitation or planetary ball milling- and spark plasma sintered at 1250 and 1300 °C. An in-depth study of the crystallinity of FLG, in terms of presence and nature of defects, was performed b...
