Graphene was fabricated by a well-known technique of ignition of magnesium (Mg) metal ribbon in solid carbon dioxide. Two dry ice slabs were used as carbon source for the production of graphene. A hemispherical cavity of about 3-4 cm diameter was carved on surfaces of both dry ice slabs. About 0.5g...
