Graphene

Since its discovery in 2004, graphene has been a great sensation due to its unique structure and unusual properties, and it has only taken<br> 6 years for a Noble Prize to be awarded for the field of graphene research. This monograph gives a well-balanced overview on all areas of<br> scientific interest surrounding this fascinating nanocarbon. In one handy volume it offers comprehensive coverage of the topic, including<br> chemical, materials science, nanoscience, physics, engineering, life science, and potential applications. Other graphene-like, inorganic layered materials are also discussed.<br> <br> Edited by two highly honored scientists, this is an invaluable companion for inorganic, organic, and physical chemists, materials scientists,<br> and physicists.<br> <br> From the Contents:<br> <br> * Synthesis, Characterization, and Selected Properties of Graphene<br> * Understanding Graphene via Raman Scattering<br> * Physics of Quanta and Quantum Fields in Graphene<br> * Graphene and Graphene-Oxide-Based Materials for Electrochemical Energy Systems<br> * Heterogeneous Catalysis by Metal Nanoparticles supported on Graphene<br> * Graphenes in Supramolecular Gels and in Biological Systems<br> <br> and many more
