Writing for senior undergraduate and beginninggraduate students in materials sciences, Warner (materials, U. OfOxford, England) and collaborators present six 'relativelyself-contained' chapters intended to convey the necessary basicinformation about graphene in relation to a broad variety of topics. Thechapter topics are: the atomic structure of graphene and its few-layercounterparts; electronic, chemical, electron spin, mechanical, andthermal properties of graphene; methods for obtaining graphene;characterization techniques; and applications in electronic devices,spintronics, nanoelectromechanical systems, freestanding graphenemembranes, graphene-based energy, and superstrong graphene composites.(c Book News, Inc., Portland, OR).
Graphene: Synthesis and Applications reviews the advancement and future directions of graphene research in the areas of synthesis and properties, and explores applications, such as electronics, heat dissipation, field emission, sensors, composites, and energy.
Graphene, one of the most promising two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials, has gained substantial attention in several areas of materials science. Due to its unique mechanical, electrical, optical, and thermal properties, graphene-based materials have triggered both numerous fundamental studies and technological applications. Out of several synthetic methods, chemical vapour deposition (CVD) has emerged as one of the most promising methods for the production of large areas of high quality single-crystal graphene. This review introduces the fundamental growth mechanisms of CVD graphene, alongside the various parameters and substrates employed in this process. Furthermore, new developments in the CVD synthesis of monolayer and few-layer graphene are presented, as well as advanced techniques for analysing the fine structure and properties of graphene. Moreover, a detailed discussion of the transfer processes used for practical applications of CVD graphene is provided, with emphasis on their fundamental aspects. This review concludes with an outlook on presently challenging issues, prospects and applications of graphene.
