This document summarizes the properties and potential applications of graphene. Graphene is an extremely thin material made of carbon that is very strong, conductive, and flexible. It has potential uses in electronics, composite materials for vehicles, desalination, biomedical devices, and antibacterial applications. However, large-scale production of graphene remains challenging and it lacks the ability to act as a transistor, limiting its use in digital electronics currently dominated by silicon.

10. CVD PROCESS

15. Chemical properties
 Most reactive form of
carbon.
 Burns at very low
temperature.

16. ELECTRONIC PROPERTIES
Zero-overlap semimetal
High frequency operation
High charge mobility

17. Mechanical properties
 Atomic Force Microscopy

 Saturable absorption

20. In the future, satellites, airplanes, and
cars could be manufactured out of
the new composite materials.

21. BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING
Uses
* Efficient Bioelectric Sensory Devices
* Able to monitor Glucose level, cholesterol
DNA sequencing, Haemoglobin level etc
* Toxic Graphene as anti-cancer treatment
Analyze DNA at a record-breaking pace.

22. • In 2010, the Chinese Academy of
Sciences has found that sheets of
graphene oxide are highly
effective at killing bacteria
• This means graphene could be
useful in applications such as
hygiene products or packaging
that will help keep food fresh for
longer periods of time.

23. By very precise control over the size of the holes in the Graphene sheet, It can cheaply and easily can
remove salt from SEA WATER.
Potentially turning a ocean into a vast drinking supplies for THIRSTY population.

25. LIMITATIONS
• Single sheet of graphene is hard to produce.
• The new fabrication & manufacturing methods has to be evolved for normal use in
electronics
• While graphene can be considered semiconductor like silicon, it lacks one crucial
property- the ability to act as a switch.

26. From above discussion it is concluded that Graphene is a
material which has the capability to eliminate the current
semiconductors such as silicon and form a new era of
superfast micro electronics.
