Graphene is an allotrope of carbon
Properties
But when graphene sits on boron nitride, it hardly reacts at all to
the same chemicals.
Production
1) Mechanical
Exfoliation
Disadvantages
1) The graphene obtained is defective.
2) Ineffective for large scale graphene production.
Graphite
Graphite oxide
Disadvantages
2)Chemical Thermal Exfoliation 1) Due to usage of Chemicals, the
graphene suffers toxicity

Graphene will soon be used commercially in touch screens liquid
crystal displays (LCD) and organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs)
replacing currently used Indium Tin Oxide.
Graphene can be used for producing foldable phones.
Graphene can be used in hard drives with capacity a million times
greater than what we use today.
Graphene transistors can increase computer speed to thousand
Applications times faster than current technology.
• Graphene is strong enough to stop a bullet, hence can be used to
make military protective equipment such as vests, gloves etc.
Graphene enhanced Li-ion batteries when compared to Li ion
battery is fast charging, will have higher capacity, longer lifespan,
and is also extremely light and flexible.
Graphene can also detect cancer cells in the early stages of the
disease. Moreover, it can stop them from growing any further in
many by intervening in the formation of the tumor.
Applications
Graphene dioxide can be used in solar panels and is found to
release multiple electrons per photon that hits the panel.
