Optical Properties and Applications of Graphene Nanoparticles

Graphene is in many respects a nanomaterial with its unique properties. Graphene is the thinnest material comprised of atoms. Graphene is the only one atomic layer thick and hence an almost ideal representation of a two-dimensional material in our three-dimensional world.
Graphene is a two-dimensional material made of carbon atoms with the shape of an hexagonal lattice. Graphene first isolated in 2004, by Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov in the University of Manchester by means of mechanical exfoliation of graphite. Since this time, graphene nanoparticles' properties and potential applications have been the object of study of many research teams around the world in almost all science areas. Graphene nanoparticles with an atomic thickness have excellent mechanical properties, electrical conductivity, optical properties, thermal conductivity and impermeability, which makes it attractive for many applications.
Graphene offers several advantages. Amongst all the properties of graphene, its optical properties will likely be the ones with most practical applications in the short-term, mainly in nanoscale applications .
As all we know there is an increase in data traffic in the years due to increase in number of internet and mobile devices users. Because all of us create big challenges in terms of data network management. When we think about bandwidth and energy consumption, today's data processing optoelectronic devices will no longer have the capacity to cope with future network requirements. Graphene nanoparticles can help us to solve this problem.
The other area where graphene nanoparticles can be used on a commercial scale is that in optoelectronics; specifically touchscreens, liquid crystal displays (LCD) and organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs). Graphene is an almost completely transparent material and is able to optically transmit up to 97.7% of light. It is also highly conductive, as we have previously mentioned and so it would work very well in optoelectronic applications such as LCD touchscreens for smartphones, tablet and desktop computers and televisions.
For our needs in the future, Graphene nanoparticles might be the key elements. Because Graphene nanoparticles have ultra-broad band optical response and excellent non-linear optical properties. And these properties make Graphene a fabulous material for developing next generation photonic and optoelectronic devices.

Improving Dialysis Process with Graphene

Researchers from Mechanical and Electrical Engineering Departments of MIT recently showed that graphene is a powerful material candidate for use in the dialysis systems (such as hemodialysis machines in medical institutes for filtering human blood). In order to prepare graphene as a dialysis material, researchers used a procedure opposite to the general treatments that nanotechnology people use. Dialysis is a process of filtering different solutions such as human blood by a membrane in order to remove waste molecules, drugs, chemical residues from the solution. In some cases, the process can be used for purification of chemicals or isolation of different molecules for medical diagnosis. It is an essential process for scientists especially in the medical operations.

Graphene Oxide Dispersion

Graphene oxide refers to a mono-atomic layer material obtained when graphite crystals are oxidized. This is one of the graphene materials that are commercially available because of  its ability to dissolve in water  which makes the oxidation process suitable. In this article, we will talk about the  synthesis, the properties and some of the applications of graphene oxide dispersion in water . Seven Properties of Graphene Oxide Dispersion The properties of a material are defined through its structure, however, this material is very peculiar, since there is no unambiguous model of this material. Graphene Oxide dispersion offers remarkable physical, chemical and mechanical properties that give the opportunity to new applications. Graphene Oxide is amorphous , but, in general, graphene oxide can be described as a two-dimensional sheet containing honeycomb carbon atoms with functional groups of hydroxide and oxygen, unlike the graphene model that seeks to completely re...
