Graphene and 2D Materials

Graphene and 2D materials, consisting of atomically thin layers, are revolutionizing various industries due to their exceptional properties. Graphene, a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice, is renowned for its extraordinary electrical conductivity, mechanical strength, and thermal conductivity. Other 2D materials, such as molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) and hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN), exhibit unique electronic, optical, and mechanical properties that complement graphene's capabilities. These materials have significant applications in electronics for faster and more efficient transistors, sensors, and flexible displays; in energy for high-capacity batteries, supercapacitors, and solar cells; and in biomedical fields for advanced drug delivery systems and biosensors. Challenges include scalable production, integration into existing technologies, and ensuring material stability and quality. Ongoing research is focused on developing cost-effective synthesis methods, exploring hybrid materials, and expanding their applications in quantum computing and nanotechnology.
