Special properties of graphene

Graphene is the thinnest of all known materials, as thin as a single layer of atoms. Graphene actually exists in nature, but it is difficult to peel off the single-layer structure. 1 millimetre of graphite contains approximately three million layers of graphene.

 Graphene is a single-layer, two-dimensional crystal made up of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal honeycomb:

- The world's thinnest and hardest nanomaterials

  200 times stronger than Q235 steel in tensile strength and 5 times tougher than Q235 steel

- Good stability. The length of the carbon-carbon bond between carbon atoms is only 1.42*10-10m.

- Almost completely transparent (absorbs 2.3% of light)

- Thermal conductivity up to 5300 W/m-K

- Electron mobility 15000 cm2/V-s

- World's lowest electrical resistivity (10-6 Ω-cm).
