Graphene
Graphene is a thin layer of pure carbon, it is usually made up of a packed layer of carbon atoms which are packed together in a hexagonal like honeycomb lattice. These layers stacked on top of each other form graphite. Graphene is highly conductive and transparent and laid in sheets is 200 times stronger than steel and 60,000 times than saran wrap. It is also a good conductor of energy and can be synthesized from unique carbon source with many possible sources and characteristics and is therefore the most reactive form of carbon. Graphene has been thought of having different applications:
1 Batteries-it was discovered that graphene can hold energy more than anodes made of graphite for mobile devices batteries and can be used for solar energy.
2 Computer circuits- Graphene has the possibility to be designed so as to replace silicon in making computer chips though they are under research.
3 Living tissue application-it has predicted that graphene can be used to create bionic implants.
4 Lower cost fuel- scientists have been able to combine graphene with some translation metals which thin and flexible and can absorb light and produce electricity just the same as the solar panel. By the use of bromine, iodine and chlorine and mixing them with graphene flakes they could be used to replace expensive materials used...
