ITMG 100 Section 06

What is Graphene?

• Pure Carbon

• One atom thick sheet

• Hexagonal Pattern

• Strongest Material on Earth

Discovering Graphene

• Discovered in 2004 by Andre Geim

and Konstantin Novoselov

• Used scotch tape to peel off layers of

graphite

Properties

• Super Strength

• Excellent Conductivity

• Elasticity

• Thermal Conductivity

• Impermeable

Future Applications

• Solar Cells

• Ultra Capacitors

• Display screens in mobile devices

• Membranes for more efficient separation of

gases

• Components with higher strength to weight

ratios
