An In-Depth Look at the Outstanding Properties of Graphene

The Graphene Science Handbook is a six-volume set describing graphene’s special structural, electrical, and chemical properties. The book explores how these properties can be utilised in various applications, including the development of batteries, fuel cells, photovoltaic cells, and supercapacitors based on graphene, and produced on a massive, global scale.

Volume One: Fabrication Methods

Volume Two: Nanostructure and Atomic Arrangement

Volume Three: Electrical and Optical Properties

Volume Four: Mechanical and Chemical Properties

Volume Five: Size-Dependent Properties

Volume Six: Applications and Industrialization

This handbook details the fabrication methods of graphene; its nanostructure and atomic arrangement; its electrical and optical properties; its mechanical and chemical properties; the size effects in graphene, characterisation, and applications based on size-affected properties; as well as the application and industrialisation of graphene.

Volume four is dedicated to the mechanical and chemical properties of graphene and covers:

• Mechanical properties using a continuum elastic model introduced to describe graphene’s elastic behaviour
• Results of theoretical investigations of the mechanical properties of graphene structures
• Mechanical stabilities and properties of graphene under various strains
• Different types of graphene devices for biomolecule and gas sensing
• Printed graphene-based electrochemical sensor technology
• Various types of graphene-based electrochemical sensors
• The chemical vapour deposition of graphene on copper
• Strategies covering graphene modification
• Graphene in solar cells, including transparent electrodes, active layers, and interface layers
• Changes at the micrometric and nanometric scales, and more
