THE GRAPHENE -Graphene is type of carbon in the form of a two-dimensional, atomic-scale and hexagonal lattice. -It is the basic structural element of other allotropes, including graphite, charcoal, carbon nanotubes and fullerenes. -Graphene is a combination of graphite and the suffix -ene, named by Hanns-Peter Boehm, who described single-layer carbon foils in 1962. http://bit.ly/1ToMP7D
