Basics

  • Graphene is a single atom thick sheet of carbon
  • It is electrically conductive, has a massive surface area, and many other interesting properties
  • It has many intreseting applications, from the near future (batteries, reactors, etc) to the more far off (Solar Cell Layers, Electrostatic Speakers + Headphones, Scientific Instruments)

Production

  • Graphene can be made by many methods
  • Below are the two main groups, which in turn have many subgroups
