Graphene Materials: Fundamentals and EmergingApplications brings together innovative methodologies withresearch and development strategies to provide a detailedstate-of-the-art overview of the processing, properties, andtechnology developments of graphene materials and theirwide-ranging applications. The applications areas covered arebiosensing, energy storage, environmental monitoring, andhealth. The book discusses the various methods that have been developedfor the preparation and functionalization of single-layeredgraphene nanosheets. These form the essential building blocks forthe bottom-up architecture of various graphene materials becausethey possess unique physico-chemical properties such as largesurface areas, good conductivity and mechanical strength, highthermal stability and desirable flexibility. The electronicbehavior in graphene, such as dirac fermions obtained due to theinteraction with the ions of the lattice, has led to the discoveryof novel miracles like Klein tunneling in carbon-based solid statesystems and the so-called half-integer quantum Hall effect. Thecombination of these properties makes graphene a highly desirablematerial for applications. In particular, Graphene Materials: Fundamentals and EmergingApplications has chapters covering: • Graphene and related two-dimensional nanomaterials • Surface functionalization of graphene • Functional three-dimensional graphene networks • Covalent graphene-polymer nanocomposites • Magnesium matrix composites reinforced with graphenenanoplatelets • Graphene derivatives for energy storage • Graphene nanocomposite for high performance supercapacitors • Graphene nanocomposite-based bulk hetro-junction solar cells • Graphene bimetallic nanocatalysts foam for energy storage andbiosensing • Graphene nanocomposites-based for electrochemical sensors • Graphene electrodes for health and environmental monitoring
