Researchers at Texas A&M have developed a non-thermal atmospheric plasma process that directly converts methane and water into graphene oxide (GO) and hydrogen at ambient conditions. The method avoids toxic chemicals and scalability limits of conventional GO production, yields GO comparable to commercial material, and significantly reduces production costs.

What new markets or applications could open up if GO becomes cheaper and greener to produce—and how valuable is the hydrogen co-product in making this process economically attractive?

Researchers at Texas A&M University have developed a fundamentally new route to graphene oxide (GO) synthesis using non-thermal atmospheric plasma — a method that sidesteps the toxic chemicals and scalability limitations that often constrain conventional production approaches. The new method enables the direct conversion of methane and water into GO and hydrogen at ambient conditions, resulting in a product that is structurally comparable to commercially available GO, but with significantly lower production costs.
