Mass production of high‐quality graphene , necessary for the further development of graphene‐based technologies such as fuel‐cell electrocatalysts, is expected to be possible by the novel synthetic approach reported here. Freestanding single‐layer graphene nanosheets containing few defects and with good oxidation stability are produced from commercial polycrystalline silicon carbide granules using a non‐liquid‐phase method.
