Graphene Nanopowder

Graphene powder has a molecular structure comprising a single layer of carbon atoms bonded in a hexagonal structure. It is a single layer of graphite, which conversely can be thought of as a stack of graphene sheets. Graphene powder is considered to be the world's thinnest, strongest and most conductive material - to both electricity and heat. All these properties are exciting around the world - as graphene has the potential to revolutionize entire industries in the fields of electricity, conductivity, energy generation, batteries, sensors and more.

Graphene powder is the allotrope of carbon atoms and basically, a single atomic layer of graphite. It is made up of tightly bonded carbon atoms and atoms are organized into a hexagonal lattice. Grapheme shows sp2 hybridization and represents very unique properties. The exceptional attributes of grapheme originate from the 2p orbital, which forms the π state bands that delocalize over the sheet of carbons that constitute graphene.

Graphene powder has appeared as one of the most auspicious nanomaterials due to its unique combination of properties: it is 100times stronger than steel as well as thinnest material. This nanomaterial is an optically transparent, conduct heat better than the other materials. Furthermore, it is a very good conductor of electricity and it is so dense that it is impermeable to gases.

Graphene powder has impressive mechanical properties such as stiffness, toughness, and strength due to these properties it can be used as an individual as well as a reinforcement agent in composites. These astonishing properties and its multifunctionality, make graphene unique, suitable for a broad spectrum of applications ranging from electronics to optics, bio-devices, and sensors.

Graphene-based wearable e-textiles are considered to be promising due to their advantages over traditional metal-based technology. Researchers are focused on the development of a simple and cost-effective method to manufacture graphene-based wearable electronic textiles on an industrial scale. Nanoshel team is producing a simple and cost-effective way of manufacturing multi-functional graphene textiles that could easily be scaled up for many real-life applications, such as sportswear, military gear, and medical clothing.
