A Review: Properties and application of Graphene

Gurwinder Pal Singh

Abstract


The paper focusses mainly on the different properties of graphene such as electronics, optoelectronics, mechanical, biological and optics. The thermal and electrical conductivity has been described and compared to other metals briefly. The article includes the various optoelectronic applications of graphene and its advantage over other metal oxide nanoparticles. The biological applications of graphene illustrate the area of biosensing devices for various treatments. This paper also involves the studies of various other applications of graphene like photovoltaic cells, energy storage, transistors, solar cells, charge conductor and light collector.
