Knowledge in fullerene

Graphene, Fullerene and Nanowires.

Graphene is a 2D network of carbon atoms. These carbon atoms are bound within the plane by strong bonds into a honeycomb array comprised of six-membered rings. By stacking these layers on top of each other, 3D graphite structure is formed. In graphene, each carbon atom is covalently bonded to three other carbon atoms.  Graphene can be a parent form for many carbon structures, like the above-mentioned graphite, carbon nanotubes, and fullerenes. We have also discussed the thermal and chemical properties of the materials.
