@proceedings{95951, title = {Graphene: Fundamentals and Applications}, abstract = {

Graphene~is a one-carbon atom thick sheet with a hexagonal lattice. The chemical~structure of graphene is dependent on its processing and synthesis methods.~Indeed, graphene obtained via mechanical exfoliation of graphite may yield~defect-free single layer sheets, whereas chemically produced graphene results~in defective graphene that is highly functionalized with different chemical~groups. In the first part of my talk, I~will review the major techniques~employed for the production of graphene sheets in laboratory and industrial~scales. Then, I will discuss their resulting physical and chemical~characteristics. In the second part of my talk, I will review and discuss the~broad applications of graphene and the most recent achievements.
