Carbon Nanostructures, Graphene and 2D Materials

Carbon nanostructures are artificially formed structures with nanoscale scale, and carbon nanostructure changes have piqued the interest of numerous researchers since their discovery in the early 1990s. Carbon nanostructures are a key tool for creating advanced polymer composite materials.

A one-atom-thick layer of carbon atoms organised in a hexagonal lattice is known as graphene. It is the building block of graphite (which is used, among other things, in pencil tips), but graphene is a fascinating substance in and of itself, with a slew of astounding features that have earned it the moniker "wonder material" on numerous occasions.

Single-layer materials, often known as 2D materials in materials science, are crystalline solids made up of a single layer of atoms. These materials show promise in several applications.
