Graphene and 2D Materials

Graphene: is collected from a single layer of carbon iotas organized in a two-dimensional (2D) honeycomb cross section. It is a fundamental building block for an assortment of well-known carbon materials, such as three-dimensional (3D) graphite, carbon nanotubes, zero-dimensional (0D) fullerene, and one-dimensional (1D). It was uncovered in 2004 by peeling off graphene drops from bulk graphite with sticky.
