Description: 
There are tens of industrial producers claiming to sell graphene and related materials (GRM), mostly as solid powders. Recently the quality of commercial GRM has been questioned, and procedures for GRM quality control were suggested using Raman Spectroscopy or Atomic Force Microscopy. Such techniques require dissolving the sample in solvents, possibly introducing artefacts. &# 13; A more pragmatic approach is needed, based on fast measurements and not requiring any assumption on GRM solubility. To this aim, we report here an overview of the properties of commercial GRM produced by selected companies in Europe, USA and Asia. We benchmark: A) size, B) exfoliation grade and C) oxidation grade of each GRM vs. the ones of" ideal" graphene and, most importantly, vs. what reported by the producer. In contrast to previous works, we report explicitly the names of the GRM producers and we do not …
