The importance of interlaboratory studies for robust measurements of graphene and other 2D materials

Abstract

This perspective article presents the current state of interlaboratory studies in graphene and other 2D materials. These interlaboratory studies are mostly coordinated via the Versailles Project on Advanced Materials and Standards and are crucial in establishing robust and validated protocols for measuring key properties of these materials. These protocols can then be included in international documentary standards. We summarise the key findings of completed studies and outline the approach of those that are currently underway. An outline of future needs is also presented, highlighting gaps in the current scope of activities and therefore where the focus of future studies should be.
