Nanotechnology Now - Press Release: Graphene: It is all about the toppings: To fully exploit the potential of the'wonder material' graphene, it has to be combined with other materials

Graphene consists of a single layer of carbon atoms. Exceptional electronic, thermal, mechanical and optical properties have made graphene one of the most studied materials at the moment. For many applications in electronics and energy technology, however, graphene must be combined with other materials: Since graphene is so thin, its properties drastically change when other materials are brought into direct contact with it.
