 Graphene and Its Application in Electronics

Graphene and its related materials exhibit excellent properties[1]–[3]. Graphene known as the
thinnest material in the universe[4]–[9], and the strongest ever measured[5]–[9], it was a
hundred and fifty times stronger than an equivalent weight of steel—indeed. And as pliable as
rubber and could stretch to a hundred and twenty per cent of its length[7]. It conducts
electricity and heat better than any other material, also can block gases and liquids while
allowing water to pass through[6], [10], [11]. Moreover, extremly high crystal and electronic
quality is indicated by graphene, and has already revealed a cornucopia of new physics and
potential applications although its short history[12]. Not only it can used as a noise
thermometer[13]–[15], but also can improve the mechanical and electrical insulation
properties of XLPE blends[16]. Furthermore, graphene sheets—one-atom-thick two-
dimensional layers of sp2-bonded carbon—are predicted to have a range of unusual properties.
Their thermal conductivity and mechanical stiffness may rival the remarkable in-plane values
for graphite (∼3,000 W m-1 K-1 and 1,060 GPa, respectively); their fracture strength should be
comparable to that of carbon nanotubes for similar types of defects; and recent studies have
shown that individual graphene sheets have extraordinary electronic transport properties[17].
Other properties of graphene such as gas adsorption characteristics, magnetic and
electrochemical properties and the effects of doping by electrons and holes. Interestingly,
molecular charge-transfer also markedly affects the electronic structure and properties of
graphene[18]. In addition, few-layer graphenes[19]–[21] exhibit ferromagnetic features along
with antiferromagnetic properties, independent of the method of preparation, and synthesized
by conversion of nanodiamond, arc discharge of graphite and other methods[22].
Gold nanoclusters and gold nanoparticles can be synthesized on the surface of graphene
layers[23]. It is also highly conductive, and so it would work very well in optoelectronic
applications such as LCD touchscreens for smartphones, tablet, desktop computers and
televisions[24]–[26]; sensors[27]; organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs)[28] ; and anti-
corrosion coatings and paints[29] . In addition, a various applications in infrared imaging, and
national security also can be found by graphene photonic devices[30]. The adsorption of HA
from peat water (the real sample) using the nano-particles demonstrated that they were an
adsorbent with great potential for the removal of HA from peat water[31].
