Graphene Application

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Technological Applications of Nanomaterials

Part of the book series: Engineering Materials ((ENG.MAT.))

Abstract

Graphene is an allotropic form of carbon with hexagonal structures with highly sought-after chemical and physical properties. This chapter initially presents a review of methods to obtain and characterizing graphene and a literature summary of applications of this material. In the end, expectations for future work are presented.
