Graphene is an allotrope of carbon consisting of a
single layer of atoms arranged in a twodimensional
honeycomb lattice nanostructure.
The name is derived
from "graphite“.

Discovery Method:
Scotch tape technique.
They stuck tape to a piece of graphite and pulled free a single layer of
the material. This left them with graphene.

Properties:
Graphene has magicalproperties which make it a
super material.
Two characteristics of graphene make it an
exceptional material.
The perfect orderfound in its sheets—no atomic
defects such as vacancies exist.
These sheets are extremely pure—only carbon
atoms are present.
The most outstanding properties of graphene are:

Graphene carries electricity more quickly more
precisely. Due to high current density and high
intrinsic mobility electrons have no resistance
when they move through graphene.

Applications:
Due to its magical properties graphene has a vast range of
applications in modern technology.
It is saying that Soon Graphene will take over the world
EU devoted $1.3 billion to research from 2013-2023. This
research is intended to find out how graphenecan alter the
principles of electronics, constructions, health and energy
sectors

However before this revolution can begin to be
realized, economical and reliable methods for the mass
production of graphene must be devised.
Because graphene is much more expensive
You can buy 1g Graphene for $220. (about Rs.50595)
1 tola gold price is approximately Rs. 1,83,500
1 tola graphene price is approximately Rs. 6,07,147
