A comparison list between different exfoliation methods.

Exfoliation method	Quality of exfoliation	Scalability	Safety concerns	Application suitability
Chemical exfoliation	High-quality sheets	May be scalable with proper equipment	Potential safety concerns due to chemical use	Versatile, suitable for various applications
Liquid phase exfoliation	Good quality, stable dispersions	Scalable, ideal for larger quantities	Safer than chemical methods	Suitable for applications requiring dispersions
Mechanical exfoliation	High-quality single-layer sheets	Less scalable, labor-intensive	Relatively safe	Ideal for fundamental research, small quantities
Microwave-driven exfoliation	Potential for high-quality exfoliation	May be scalable with proper equipment	Safety concerns related to microwave use	Promising for industrial applications, fast exfoliation
