An interesting paper from Novoselov lab titled "The Worldwide Graphene Flake Production" [doi.org/10.1002/adma.20180378] wherein they analyzed so-called "graphene" sold by over 60 companies and found that most, if not all are sub-standard. One damning observation is "...and no company is currently producing above 50% graphene content".
The same holds true for a lot of published papers - especially concerning energy storage applications. Everybody claims to have graphene - to the point that I suspect the term "graphene" has evolved to replace the term "graphite". Lots of examples, including highly cited works, but I'd really prefer not to spread more bitterness.
Thanos Tiliakos , Not sure about graphite, but the term "graphene" has definitely replaced "exfoliated graphite".
