The answer is yes for many reasons, but how to do so is a puzzle that has confounded scientists working with 2D materials since Konstantin Novoselov and Andre Geim first isolated 2D sheets of carbon (graphene) in 2004. An important potential application is the development of better batteries for electric vehicles.
