Graphene is a new material with a single-layer and two-dimensional honeycomb lattice structure, in which carbon atoms connected by sp( 1-x) hybridization are closely packed.

Graphene has excellent optical, electrical and mechanical properties, and has important application prospects in the fields of material science, micro-nano processing, energy, biomedicine and drug delivery, and is considered as a revolutionary material in the future.

Physicists Andrei Grimm and Konstantin Novoselov of the University of Manchester in England successfully separated graphene from graphite by micromachining, so * * * won the 20 10 Nobel Prize in Physics. The common methods of graphene powder production are mechanical stripping, redox and SiC epitaxial growth, and the method of thin film production is chemical vapor deposition (CVD).
