▎ 摘  要

Bulk applications of graphene in fields such as advanced composites, conductive ink, and energy storage require cheap and scalable graphene. Fortunately, in the last decade, the liquid-phase exfoliation of graphite to obtain pristine graphene has emerged as a promising way to achieve massive production of graphene at high efficiency and low cost by utilizing a cheap and abundant graphite source and a variety of cost-effective exfoliation techniques. Though numerous exfoliation techniques are available, this article will highlight the recent progress in the fluid dynamics route, which has emerged in the last five years as a promising scalable and efficient method for graphene production. A focus is made on vortex fluidic devices and pressure-and mixer-driven fluid dynamics, with our perspectives on the latest progress, the exfoliation mechanisms, and some key issues that require further study in order to realize industrial applications.
