Making Connections with Graphene, an Emerging 2D Nanomaterial Making Connections with Graphene, an Emerging 2D Nanomaterial Graphene is composed of a one atom thick layer of sp2 hybridized carbons arranged like a honeycomb lattice (Fuchs, 2008) (See Figure. 1). For a long time, scientists knew of its existence but didn’t know how to isolate it from graphite. In 2004, Andre Geim and Kostya Novoselov succeeded in isolating graphene by studying the material removed from graphite with adhesive tape-…
