We have evaluated some of the most recent breakthroughs in the synthesis and applications
of graphene and graphene-based nanomaterials. This review includes three major …

Graphene was first discovered as a sheet structure mechanically exfoliated from a block of
graphite, but in recent years researchers have extended their investigations into this two …

This paper presents an overview of the work done on graphene in recent years. It explains
the preparation techniques, the properties of graphene related to its physio-chemical …

Graphene has emerged as a material with a vast variety of applications. The electronic,

Abstract Two-dimensional (2D) materials offer opportunities to explore both fundamental
science and applications in the limit of atomic thickness. Beyond the prototypical case of …

This article presents an overview of the research highlights in graphene synthesis by CVD.
The growth mechanisms over transition metals and alloys (with emphasis on Cu and Cu …

Graphene sheets that are now routinely obtained by the exfoliation/reduction of graphite
oxide exhibit Raman spectra unlike traditional graphene systems. The general attributes of …

The properties of polycrystalline materials are often dominated by the size of their grains and
by the atomic structure of their grain boundaries. These effects should be especially …

Graphene, a monolayer of graphite sheet consisting of sp2 hybridized carbon atoms
covalently bonded to three other atoms (discovered in 2004), has recently attracted the …

This review examines the properties of graphene from an experimental perspective. The
intent is to review the most important experimental results at a level of detail appropriate for …
