Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Graphene Materials: Fundamentals and EmergingApplications brings together innovative methodologies withresearch and development strategies to provide a detailedstate-of-the-art overview of the processing, properties, andtechnology developments of graphene materials and theirwide-ranging applications. The applications areas covered arebiosensing, energy storage, environmental monitoring, andhealth. The book discusses the various methods that have been developedfor the preparation and functionalization of single-layeredgraphene nanosheets. These form the essential building blocks forthe bottom-up architecture of various graphene materials becausethey possess unique physico-chemical properties such as largesurface areas, good conductivity and mechanical strength, highthermal stability and desirable flexibility. The electronicbehavior in graphene, such as dirac fermions obtained due to theinteraction with the ions of the lattice, has led to the discoveryof novel miracles like Klein tunneling in carbon-based solid statesystems and the so-called half-integer quantum Hall effect. Thecombination of these properties makes graphene a highly desirablematerial for applications. In particular, Graphene Materials: Fundamentals and EmergingApplications has chapters covering: • Graphene and related two-dimensional nanomaterials • Surface functionalization of graphene • Functional three-dimensional graphene networks • Covalent graphene-polymer nanocomposites • Magnesium matrix composites reinforced with graphenenanoplatelets • Graphene derivatives for energy storage • Graphene nanocomposite for high performance supercapacitors • Graphene nanocomposite-based bulk hetro-junction solar cells • Graphene bimetallic nanocatalysts foam for energy storage andbiosensing • Graphene nanocomposites-based for electrochemical sensors • Graphene electrodes for health and environmental monitoring
Download or read book Graphene Materials written by George Kyzas and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2017-05-17 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Graphene is, basically, a single atomic layer of graphite, an abundant mineral that is an allotrope of carbon that is made up of very tightly bonded carbon atoms organized into a hexagonal lattice. What makes graphene so special is its sp2 hybridization and very thin atomic thickness (of 0.345 Nm). These properties are what enable graphene to break so many records in terms of strength, electricity, and heat conduction (as well as many others). This book gathers valuable information about the surface chemistry of graphene, some of its properties (electrical, mechanical, etc.), and many of its modifications that can be taken into account.

And so it provides new graduate students and post-docs with a resource that equips them with the knowledge to undertake their research. - Discusses graphene's fundamental structure and properties, acting as a time-saving handbook for validated research - Demonstrates 100+ high-quality graphical representations, providing the reader with clear images to convey complex situations - Reviews characterization techniques relevant to grapheme, equipping the reader with experimental knowledge relevant for practical use rather than just theoretical understanding
Download or read book Graphene written by Les Johnson and published by Prometheus Books. This book was released on 2018 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What if you discovered an infinitesimally thin material capable of conducting electricity, able to suspend millions of times its own weight, and yet porous enough to filter the murkiest water? And what if this incredible substance is created from the same element that fills the common pencil? That's graphene--a flat, two-dimensional, carbon-based molecule with a single sheet measuring only one atom thick. In this layperson's introduction to this revolutionary substance, a physicist and a chemist explain how graphene was developed, discuss the problems in scaling up production for large-scale commercial use, and forecast the potentially transformative effects of incorporating graphene into everyday life. Recent research developments include adding graphene to Silly Putty to make extremely sensitive and malleable medical sensors and compressing and fusing flakes of graphene to create a three-dimensional material that's ten times stronger than steel. This widely adaptable substance promises to change the way we interact with smartphones, laptops, information storage, and even condoms. It may also enable significant improvements to air purification, water filtration technologies, and drug delivery. This entertaining and widely accessible book offers a fascinating look into one of the most exciting developments in materials science in recent decades.

Download or read book Graphene written by James Baker and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2022-04-21 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The isolation of graphene in 2004 by two scientists at the University of Manchester—a breakthrough later recognised by the Nobel Prize for physics—revealed to the world a brand new ‘wonder material’ which had been ‘completely hidden from science’. Graphene, the world’s first two-dimensional material, promises huge opportunities for a range of sectors, from aerospace to energy to biomedical. But how can the UK be known for ‘Made in Britain’ as well as discovered in Britain? As an answer, this book explores how the Manchester model of innovation has evolved to not only support great science but also accelerate the adoption of graphene into real-world products and anchoring an innovation ecosystem in the place of UK discovery. This book features first-hand experience, case studies and interviews with key strategic players in the graphene story to illustrate how Manchester has built a unique model of collaboration with industry to create an ecosystem that features a supply chain of companies not only producing graphene material but also starting to disrupt the marketplace with new products and application as we approach the tipping point of commercialisation.
