So,Whats Graphene???

 Worlds’ first 2D crystal.


 Latest invented allotrope of Carbon
 Noble Prize for Physics 2010
 Single layer hexagonal structure.
 Obtained from simple and abundant form of carbon
graphite .
 Thinnest ever material in the world.

The Graphene

4
The inventers Andre Geim and
Konstantin Novoselov
have shown that
carbon in such a flat
form has exceptional
properties

5
History
The theory behind the substance graphene was first explored by theoretical physicist
Philip Wallace in 1947.

 In 1960’s it was believed that physically graphene cannot exist abecause of


thermodynamic unstability

Graphene in itself however wasn't discovered until 2004 in its full observable and testable
form.

 There have also been a number of efforts to make very thin films of graphite by
mechanical exfoliation

A key advance in the science of graphene was brought by Andre Geim and Konstantin
Novoselov at ManchesterUniversity

Structure of Graphene

Sheets of graphene are bonded by loose


bond in graphite. These bonds are broken
and sheets are isolated to form graphene.
These isolated hexagonal sheets are
graphene.

7
Salient features of the structure

 2D Hexagonal structure.
 Van der wall’s force of attraction.
 Strong bonds.
 Bond length 0.142 nm.
 Long chain of interlinked,hexagonal
lattice.

8
Properties of Graphene

 Physical
 Electronic
 Thermal
 Mechanical

9
Physical properties of Graphene
Density- density of
graphene 0.77 mg/m2.

Strength- With its breaking


strength 42 N/m it is 1000
times stronger than steel.

Optical transparency-
graphene is almost
transparent with its ability of
absorb just 2.3% of light
falling on it.

Thinnest possible material 10


Electronic properties
Graphene differs from most conventional three-dimensional materials.
.Intrinsic graphene is a semi-metal or zero-gap semiconductor
15,000 cm2V−1s−1
Graphene has a remarkably high electron mobility at room temperature
The mobility is nearly independent of temperature between 10 K and 100 K

Resistivity of the graphene sheet would be 10−6 Ω·cm.

Optical properties
Unexpectedly high opacity for an atomic monolayer

This is "a consequence of the unusual low-energy electronic


structure of monolayer graphene

Due to this special property, graphene has


wide application in ultrafastphotonics11
Thermal properties
The near-room temperature thermal conductivity of graphene was recently measured to be
between (4.84±0.44) ×103 to (5.30±0.48) ×103 Wm−1K−1.

Mechanical properties
As of 2009, graphene appears to be one of the strongest materials ever tested.

Bulk strength is 130GPa


200 times greater thansteel

Graphene sheets, held together by van der Waals forces
