What is graphene and where is it used?
Graphene is a two-dimensional nanomaterial consisting of a single layer of carbon arranged in regular hexagons - hexagons.
Ideal graphene combines unique properties:
- the thinnest material in the world is low in one atom;
- the most durable material in the world - Young's modulus of more than 1 TPa;
- has a large electrical conductivity - mobility of charges of more than 1,000,000 cm2/V∙s;
- has high thermal conductivity up to 5000 W/m∙K;
- optical transparent in a wide range from UV to IR;
- flexible and elastic;
- chemical inert.
