Graphene
In our day-to-day life we see some generally used materials like copper, bronze , aluminum there are few strongest materials like diamond ,Lonsdaleite material is 58 percent stronger then diamond, Dyneema material have 15 percent stronger then Iron ,metallic glass, Bucky paper which is 500 times stronger than Iron. above all elements are stronger than regular materials.
among all elements ,very strongest material called Graphite, in this article we try to find what are the advantages, Applications ,Uses of graphite.
Graphene mono layers are arranged one on one of million graphene layers to make one Graphite it is of two dimensional shape. Graphene have various ability's like it is stronger then diamond, stretch like a rubber, lighter then aluminium, it is capability to handle heavy weights. for example if we arrange a huge elephant on thin Graphite paper ,the paper do not get effected by the animal.

Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov |
In 2004 andre Gein and konstantin novoselov they identified this material by a simple experiment they taken tape and pencil lid ,they started stitching tape to the pencil lid and removed they observed a layer of graphene ,They repeated many times , each time they are getting new thin Graphene layer then they started research on graphene. In the year of 2010
they got noble prize for their research on graphene.
Graphene is a 2D material like paper sheet ,If we have one gram of graphene we can easily spread up to cinema screen. It is used in home purpose, folded mobiles display, computers, laptops ,guns, Tv's, unbreakable cars and many more.
It is used maximum in electronics and electrical sectors. because in Graphene material electricity can flow zero loss then the copper . Graphene is the best conductor in the world.
generally processor chips made up of silicon , if we mix silicon with Graphene there is vast change chip manufacturing industry like reduced in chip size, it work more efficiently with less energy .
we cannot determine when Graphene is completely used for above all applications, but Graphene is already used in Foldable mobiles and mobile phones and they are very costly .
but Graphene used products may completely available in 2050
Using present technology water purification is major problem and we need more steps to filter water, it is time taken and economically not afford by some poor people .but if we use Graphene filter ,it just need one step to filter the water with precise filtration. it so easy ,less cost ,decreasing in time.
Graphene have very wide range of application few of them are mentioned below
it is used in military Guns, bullet proof jackets also in construction if we mix concrete slab with Graphene the building have 3 times high durability then normal building, Graphene used in paint to avoid rusting, graphene battery's provides more life time then normal lithium ion battery's.
what not Graphene is used in every sector Mobiles, TV's, Led lights, electronic processors, solar energy, Water purification, Air crafts ,Artificial muscles and so on...
