Graphene is a two-dimensional carbon allotrope with the carbon atoms arranged in a two-dimensional honeycomb lattice. It was first isolated in 2004 and is an extremely thin material along with being flexible and transparent. It is one of the strongest materials at present and the carbon arrangement provides it with attractive and unusual characteristics. Due to these reasons, it is one of the most promising nano-material and is being considered in a wide range of applications ranging from optics to electronics but it is hard to manufacture in large quantities.
Graphene’s unique structure gives rise to a series of outstanding physical properties. Due to its unique combination of superior properties, graphene is a credible starting point for new disruptive technologies across a wide range of fields.
