2004 saw the discovery of an unusual material. It is a 2-dimensional hexagonal hexagonal lattice structure that consists of carbon-atoms. Graphene’s unique electronic band structure as well as relativistic electronics make it the ideal system for two-dimensional electronic communication.
Graphene, a newly developed carbon material, has a two-dimensional honeycomb lattice design. Single layer carbon atoms are tightly packed into it. It can also be used as a base unit to build other dimensional material. Graphene consists of hexagonal honeycombs made with sp2hybridized atoms. Each layer is only one. Graphene may appear to be a flat two-dimensional structure. But graphene actually has wavy structures. Each carbon-atom in graphene can be connected to its three surroundings by a single bond. So graphene can conduct electric power, the rest of electrons are free to move. One could say that all graphene sheets make a large, x-bond.
1) Tripping tape method/slightly friction
Micromechanical Separation is the most widely used technique. It cuts graphene from larger crystals directly. Other methods of preparation include friction with pyrolytic graphite. This is when the material has been expanded using another substance or introduced defects. The flocculent graphite is formed when bulk graphite has a surface. This produces single-layer graphene.
2) Epitaxy Growth Silicon Carbide Surface
To remove silicon, heat single crystal silicon caride and make graphene layers on that surface. Following oxygen or hydrogen etching at high vacuum and electron bombardment, heat is applied to the sample to eliminate oxides. Auger electronscopy (AES), was used in order to verify that no oxide was left on the surface. It was heated to 1450-150 degrees and kept at the same temperature for 1 minute, 20 minutes. The graphite layer formed.
3) Hydrazine reduction method
Placing graphene on paper, which is composed of hydrogen and nitro atoms, in a pure hydrozine solution reduces it to monolayer graphene.
4) Sodium ethoxide pyrolysis
Nano-metal is used to first reduce ethanol. Once the product has been cracked, it is washed with water and then sodium salt is extracted. This will result in graphene sticking to the substrate. By vibration dispersion, graphene in kilogram quantities can be made using mild acoustic radiation.
5) Carbon Nanotubes to Cut
For graphene ribbons, cutting carbon nanotubes in solution with potassium permanganate is an alternative method. The first method involves cutting multi-walled carbonnatubes in solution containing potassium permanganate (or sulfuric acids). Plasma etching, which partially embeds nanotubes in polymers is another option.
It is not just the thinnest substance known but is very stable and rigid.
This is because graphene’s carbon atoms are extremely flexible. External mechanical forces bend the surfaces of carbon-atoms. The structural stability of the graphene atoms is maintained by the fact that they are not required to be rearranged in order to adapt to such forces.
It is because of its stable lattice structure that carbon atoms are very conductive. In graphene, electrons move in orbit. They do not scatter due lattice defect or introduction of foreign particles. Although the interatomic forces are strong at roomtemperature, they do not interfere with surrounding carbon-atoms. This unique property gives graphene an advantage when applying transparent conductive thin movies, which are crucial in the areas of solar cells and liquid crystal display. The graphene also has attractive potential applications in high-sensitivity sensors and high-performance energy storage systems.
The great characteristic of graphene, however is the 1/300th speed of electrons within graphene. This is much faster that that of electrons contained in general conductors. This is why graphene has electrons that are called “loaders” or better, which are similar in nature and function to relativistic neutrinos. The study showed that graphene is opaque, even though it only has the original thickness: It can absorb around 2.3 times.
