Graphene doped with various gaseous species (both acceptors and donors) can be returned to an undoped state by gentle heating in vacuum. [22] [24] Even for dopant concentrations in excess of 10 12 cm −2 carrier mobility exhibits no observable change. [24] Graphene doped with potassium in ultra-high vacuum at low temperature can reduce ...
Graphene oxide flakes in polymers display enhanced photo-conducting properties. [10] Graphene is normally hydrophobic and impermeable to all gases and liquids (vacuum-tight). However, when formed into graphene oxide-based capillary membrane, both liquid water and water vapor flow through as quickly as if the membrane was not present. [11]
The rapid fall of resistivity when carriers are injected shows their high mobility, here of the order of 5000 cm 2 /Vs. n-Si/SiO 2 substrate, T=1K. [2] Graphene exhibits high electron mobility at room temperature, with values reported in excess of 15 000 cm 2 ⋅V −1 ⋅s −1. [2] Hole and electron mobilities are nearly identical. [73]
Spherical fullerenes are also called buckyballs, and they resemble the balls used in football (soccer). Fullerenes are similar in structure to graphite, which is composed of stacked graphene sheets of linked hexagonal rings; but they may also contain pentagonal (or sometimes heptagonal) rings.
The biggest obstacle to efficient hydrogen storage using CNTs is the purity of the nanotubes. To achieve maximum hydrogen adsorption, there must be minimum graphene, amorphous carbon, and metallic deposits in the nanotube sample. Current methods of CNT synthesis require a purification step.
A two-dimensional semiconductor (also known as 2D semiconductor) is a type of natural semiconductor with thicknesses on the atomic scale. Geim and Novoselov et al. initiated the field in 2004 when they reported a new semiconducting material graphene, a flat monolayer of carbon atoms arranged in a 2D honeycomb lattice. [1]
Side view of ABA layer stacking in graphite. Graphite consists of stacked sheets of covalently bonded carbon. [5] [6] The individual layers are called graphene.In each layer, each carbon atom is bonded to three other atoms forming a continuous layer of sp 2 bonded carbon hexagons, like a honeycomb lattice with a bond length of 0.142 nm, and the distance between planes is 0.335 nm.

An unusual example is the egg-shaped fullerene Tb 3 N@ C 84 , which violates the isolated pentagon rule. [ 60 ] Evidence for a meteor impact at the end of the Permian period was found by analyzing noble gases preserved by being trapped in fullerenes.
