Conjugated carbon nanomaterial covers the areas of carbon nanotubes, fullerenes and graphene. Graphene is the newest of the carbon nanomaterials and promises to be a very active field. Already since its isolation in 2004 it has grabbed the attention of the chemistry, materials and physics communities. It promises to rival carbon nanotubes in terms of properties and potential applications with the number of publications rising from ca. 130 in 2005 to ca. 2,800 in 2010. In this short book Sekhar Ray gives an overview on graphene and graphene-oxide with a strong focus on applications. Structured in three chapters, one on graphene, one on graphene-oxide and one on graphene based nanoparticles his resource describes in each chapter the preparation (including synthesis and functionalization) and material properties before detailing a whole range of applications. Ray finishes each chapter with information on remaining challenges and perspectives.
- Written by an expert in the field who, during his last 17 years of research, has published more than 80 peer reviewed articles in recognized international journals
- Gives full-chapter overviews on Graphene, Graphene-Oxide, and Graphene based nanoparticles
- Focusses on applications
Researchers and engineers working on carbon and related nano-structure materials and their applications, in such disciplines and industries as water filtration, energy storage, biofuels, clean energy devices, photovoltaics, other electronics applications and semiconductors, displays, sensors and biological and medical applications
