GRAPHENE
The main pillar of Nano dust to exist is the right material from which it will be made, and after thorough research, nothing fits the decription more than Graphene. It is also called as ‘Wonder Material’ for its properties and the easiness of making it, not to forget very very cheap as well. You can make graphene right from yoiur desk and chair right now with just an normal pencil. WHAT IS GRAPHENE? A one-atom thick film of graphite is referred to as graphene. Other allotropes, such as graphite, charcoal, carbon nanotubes, and fullerenes, have it as a structural ingredient. Graphene is the world’s strongest and thinnest material. Graphene is a carbon-based honeycomb lattice at the atomic scale. It’s a honeycomb lattice of carbon atoms organised in a two-dimensional crystal. Each carbon atom is sp2 hybridised and bonded to three other carbon atoms. Chemically, graphene is the most reactive form of carbon. It’s a zero-overlap semimetal with extremely high electrical conductivity (holes and electrons serve as charge carriers). Electrons can pass through graphene far more easily than they can through copper. An electron attached to an atom in an insulator or semiconductor may only break free if it receives enough energy from heat or a passing photon to cross the ‘band gap.’ The gap in graphene, on the other hand, is tiny. This is the primary reason for graphene’s electron’s ability to travel freely and quickly. The increased electron mobility and thermal conductivity of the material might result in processors that are not only quicker but also better at dispersing heat.
