WHAT IS GRAPHENE ? The term graphene was coined by Hanns-
Peter Boehm in 1962 as [Graphite + ene ] Graphene is ,* an atomic scale honey-comb lattice made up of carbon atoms.* a first truly 2D material with regular hexagonal pattern
* basic building block for graphite material.

A CLOSER LOOK AT GRAPHENE Graphene has :
* covalent bonding * single planar sp2 hybridization * Carbon-carbon distance of 0.142 nm
Similar 2D structures: Boron-Nitride (BN) and Molybdenum-disulphide (MoS2), which have both been produced after 2004.

Pentagons (Physicists Awarded Nobel Prize for Discovery in 1996)
Carbon Nanotubes [1D]: Quasi- one dimensional form of carbon - Single walled nanotubes known since 1993
Graphite [3D], known since … a long time

PROPERTIES OF GRAPHENE1. ELECTRONIC PROPERTIES
One of the hottest areas of graphene research
focuses on the intrinsic electronic properties; how electrons flows through a sheet – only one atom thick – while under the influence of various external forces.
The graphene lattice structure is characterized by the two C-C bonds
(sigma, pi) constructed from four valence orbital's ( 2s, 2px, 2py, 2pz) where the z- direction is perpendicular to the sheet .
Here 3 electron per carbon atom in graphene are involved in formation of strong covalent sigma bonds & one electron per atom yields the pi bond.
*The only pi –electrons are responsible for the electronic properties at low energy.
7
ELECTRONIC PROPERTIES (CONTD.) In addition the C-C bonding is enhanced by fourth bond
associated with the overlap of pz (or pi) orbital's , the electronic properties of graphene are determined by the bonding pi & anti bonding pi* orbital's that forms electronic valence & conduction bands
Acc. to this band structures, graphene can be describe as a zero-gap semiconductor. Also the pi-band electronic dispersion of grpahene at six corner of the 2D hexagonal brillouin zone is found to be linear, E=ћvFk. where ħ is the reduced Planck’s constant and vF (≈106 m/s) is the electron Fermi velocity in graphene.

2. OPTICAL PROPERTIES
Graphene , despite being the thinnest material ever made , is still visible to the naked eye. Due to its unique electronic properties, it absorbs high 2.3% of light that passes through it, which is enough that you can see it in air.
To help enhance the visibility of graphene flakes we deposit them on to silicon wafers which have a thin layer of silicon dioxide. Light shining on these three layers structures will be partially transmitted & partially reflected at each interface.
This leads to complex optical interference effects such that, depending on the thickness of silicon dioxide (which we can control to high degree of accuracy) some colors are enhanced & some are suppressed.
This technique takes advantage of the same physics which cause the “ rainbow effect” that you see when you have a thin layer of oil floating on water. In this case different colors corresponds to longer/ shorter optical path length that the light has had to travel through the oil film .

PROPERTIES OF GRAPHENE (CONTD.)
3. CHEMICAL PROPERTIES
Similar to the surface of graphite, graphene can adsorb and desorb various atoms and molecules (for example, NO2, NH3, K, and OH).
Weakly attached adsorbates often act as donors or acceptors and lead to changes in the carrier concentration, so graphene remains highly conductive. This can be exploited for applications as sensors for chemicals.
Other than weakly attached adsobates, graphene can be functionalized by several chemical groups (for instances OH-, F-) forming graphene oxide and fluorinated graphene. It has also been revealed that single-layer graphene is much more reactive than 2, 3 or higher numbers or layers.
Also, the edge of graphene has been shown to be more reactive than the surface. Unless exposed to reasonably harsh reaction conditions, graphene is a fairly inert material, and does not react readily despite every atom being exposed and vulnerable to it's surroundings.

4. MECHANICAL PROPERTIES
To calculate the strength of graphene, scientists used a technique called Atomic Force Microscopy. By pressing graphene that was lying on top of circular wells, they measured just how far you can push graphene with a small tip without breaking it.
It was found that graphene is harder than diamond and about 300 times harder than steel.
Even though graphene is so robust, it is also very stretchable.. It is expected that graphene’s mechanical properties will find applications into making a new generation of super strong composite materials and along combined with its optical properties, making flexible displays.

HOW TO MAKE GRAPHENE THIN FILM ?
Spin Coating- * Method for applying thin films.
A typical process that involves depositing a small puddle of a fluid material on to the centre of a substrate & then spinning the
substrate at high speed (~3000 rpm).
Parameters :
* Nature of fluid (viscosity,
surface tension etc )
* Rotation speed
* Time of RotationFig: spin coater unit

CHARACTERIZING CHEMICALLY-DERIVED GRAPHENE
Scanning Electron Microscopy
(SEM) uses a focused beam of high-energy electrons to generate a variety of signals at the surface of solid specimens.
Secondary electrons and backscattered electrons are commonly used for imaging samples.
SEM analysis is considered to be "non-destructive"; that is, x-rays generated by electron interactions do not lead to volume loss of the sample. So it is possible to analyze the same materials repeatedly.

Distinguish the Quality of graphene.
Determine the no, of layers for n –layer graphene by the shape, width & position of 2D peak.
*Features of graphene material in Raman spectra:
-D peak [1350 cm-1]: To describe disorders & local defects at the edges of graphene & graphite platelets.
-G peak [1580 cm -1]: To asses the quality of graphene.
-2D peak is correlated to the carrier mobility of the graphene.
-ID/IG gives the metric of disorder in graphene
* The I2D/IG ratio is a better criterion in selecting high quality single layer graphene

To demonstrate the fabrication of a solid state heterojunction PV device with solution–processed
Graphene & P-type Silicon substrate.
In this representative device, incident light was transmitted through the thin graphene film to reach the junction interface & thereby PV action was observed.
Also by applying electric potential at the G/p-Si junction, photo excited electrons & holes can be separated, transported & collected at the electrodes.
