Abstract

The article discusses various research related to graphene, which are sheets of carbon that are one atom thick. Graphene have two-dimensional honeycomb lattice of carbon atoms that possess fantastic electrical conductivity and a strength that is 10 times of a steel. Research on graphene explored various issues including the fabrication of graphene photodetector, the role of nanoparticles in generating nanoribbons from graphene sheets and the relevance of graphene to the oil industry.
