The rush to develop graphene applications mandates mass production of graphene sheets. However, the currently available complex and expensive production technologies are limiting the graphene commercialization. The addition of a protective diluent to graphite during ball‐milling is demonstrated to result in a game‐changer yield (>90%) of defect‐free graphene, whose size is controlled by the milling energy and the diluent type.
