Graphene, the 'wonder material' of the 21st century, continues to redefine science and technology with its exceptional properties. Recent advancements highlight its potential in faster computing, energy storage, and innovative materials, pushing the boundaries across multiple industries.
By Owais AliReviewed by Lexie CornerAug 30 2024 Often hailed as the "wonder material of the 21st century," graphene continues to captivate researchers and industry leaders with its extraordinary properties and vast application potential. This article overviews recent breakthroughs in graphene research , showcasing how this remarkable material pushes the boundaries of science and technology.
Ferroelectric Properties of Bilayer Graphene In a study published in Nature, MIT researchers discovered unconventional ferroelectricity in bilayer graphene. They found that graphene can exhibit spontaneous charge separation between layers without an external electric field, challenging existing assumptions about ferroelectric systems.
Enhanced Conductivity and Efficiency Scientists at Nanografi Nano Technology have developed "holey super graphene," a variant with engineered pores that enhance conductivity up to 3.3 times compared to traditional multi-layered graphene. Non-Toxic Gurzeda Method for Graphene Oxide Researchers at Umeå University have developed the Gurzeda method, a non-toxic approach for producing high-quality graphene oxide. This technique integrates elements from the established Hummers and Brodie methods to produce graphene oxide with significantly fewer defects, enhancing its suitability for electronics and protective coatings applications.
