GRAPHENE

GRAPHENE Graphene had been a matter of wonder since 2004 and research studies on its applications and potentials been vigorous since. Graphene claimed unbeatable potentials and capacities. But, now, a fellow competent has arose. With Boron much similar to Carbon, the new attention is towards Borophene, which is the two-dimensional monoatomic layer of Boron, just like Graphene for Carbon. So, before exploring Borophene, we shall now see for Graphene and its applications for energy. Overview Graphene is a two- dimensional single atomic layer of Carbon. It is a good conductor of electricity and very strong that it is planned to be used for space elevators. And the strength of Graphene is that, it is the strongest material in the world! The strength results from the power of the carbon-carbon tetravalent bonds. A good semiconductor, Graphene also stands a candidate for superconductors.
