    This seems huge? I know turning into a production process is a whole other issue, but this seems big?

      it seems no bigger than every other graphene news i.e. clickbait

        There is usually a long time lag between lab results and commercialization. Sometimes it can be over 50 years. Graphene and its applications are on schedule.

        The first wow articles about the promise of lithium batteries to electrify the world started hitting in the 80s.

    What is the advantage of making graphene from inks and dyes instead of from flash-heated unsorted recycled plastic or lasered fruit peels?

      This is covered in the Introduction.

      They apply the ink/dye to a surface and then use a laser on it, leaving the graphene behind.

        > A versatile “Paint & Scribe” methodology is introduced, enabling to integrate LIG tracks onto any wettable surface, and in particular onto printed and flexible electronics. A process for obtaining freestanding and transferrable LIG is demonstrated by dissolving acrylic paint in acetone and floating LIG in water. This advancement offers novel avenues for diverse applications that necessitate a transfer process of LIG.

        I still don't understand why that's only possible with commercial inks and dyes but not with also aromatic fruit peels?
