Insertion of Calcium Atoms Causes Graphene to Exhibit Superconductivity

Graphene is a single-atomic carbon sheet with a hexagonal honeycomb network. Graphene’s electrons take a unique electronic state, referred to as Dirac-cone, where they like they have no mass. This enables them to move rapidly, and gives graphene a high electrical conductivity. The flow of electrons without mass and resistance in graphene is significant as it demonstrates potential for a futuristic high-speed nanoelectronic device.

Common Glass Improves Graphene's Electronic Properties

Graphene combines transparency, electrical conductivity, and high durability into a one-atom-thick sheet of carbon. Even though graphene is known to be a "wonder material," it has still not been successful in industrial and commercial processes and products.

New Study Suggests Graphene Sheets Efficiently Shield Chemical Interactions

A collaborative research proposed that graphene sheets are capable of effectively shielding chemical interactions. This occurrence holds promise for applications such as the quality improvement of 2D materials by "de-charging" charged defect centers located on the surface of carbon materials. The ability to control the selectivity and activity of the supported metallic catalysts on the carbon substrate is another key feature.

Scientists Fabricate Artificial Material with Structure Comparable to Graphene

An international team of physicists, guided by the University of Arkansas (U of A), has produced an artificial material having a structure similar to that of graphene. Graphene is one of the lightest, strongest, and most conductive materials known.

Wrapping Silicon Sawdust in a Graphene Cage Improves Lithium-Ion Battery Performance

For years, scientists have been trying to use silicon to produce a lithium-ion battery anode capable of storing 10 times more energy than the existing commercial anodes, and making smaller and lighter batteries with superior performance. Previously there had been two major issues; silicon particles swell in size, and crack and break during the charging stage; and when they react with the electrolyte, they form a coating that decreases their performance.
