Graphene is the thinnest and lightest material known, as well as a flexible, transparent and environmentally friendly one. Even though all of the materials in the universe have a three-dimensional structure, the graphene has a two-dimensional honeycomb structure arranged by carbon atoms. Since the graphene is one of the best conductors of electricity, the electricity flows very quickly on this simple honeycomb structured sheet. Also, many known materials conducting electricity are metals, but graphene is a carbon-based non-metal. Therefore, graphene is a very important material for environments that can transmit electric current without being metal. Graphene has a very important place in terms of very small transistors, small device technologies and miniaturized fast computer technologies because it provides electricity transmission in very small areas. Another important feature of graphene is that it is 100-300 times stronger than steel, as well as being an easily obtainable material. İt means that you get many graphene sheets on top of each other by drawing a line on a piece of paper by a pencil. In 2010, the Nobel Prize was awarded to two Russian scientists for their findings on graphene. So, we understand how important graphene is as a technological material in the near future. Previously, we knew that graphene was a material that revolutionized technology, but we had the opportunity to know graphene better during our research. In this book, we tried to give the latest methods of obtaining and using graphene, and so we wish it will helpfully guide the researchers. Many studies in the near future await the efforts of researchers to uncover many more unknown aspects of graphene.
