Graphene
From Open Source Ecology
Basics
- Graphene is a single atom thick sheet of carbon
- Carbon Nanotubes are to Cables, as Graphene is to Sheet Metal
- 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
