5 Graphene was the first ‘modern’ 2D material to be isolated in 2004, in Columbia. Discovered by Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov. They took a hunk of graphite and used scotoch tape to peel off layer after layer. Using this method to we can separate the mono layer from graphite. INNOVATION OF 2-D MATERIAL 9
