Summary:

Graphene is a single-atom-thick sheet of carbon with unique properties - such as the ability to transmit light and conduct electrons - which could make it potentially suitable for a variety of applications, including electronics, sensors and photonics. Graphene reviews the preparation and properties of this exciting material. Chapters in part one explore the preparation of graphene including epitaxial growth of graphene on silicon carbide, chemical vapour deposition (CVD) growth of graphene films, chemically derived graphene, and graphene produced by electrochemical exfoliatio
