    The Graphene Science Handbook is a six-volume set that describes graphene’s special structural, electrical, and chemical properties. The book considers how these properties can be used in different applications (including the development of batteries, fuel cells, photovoltaic cells, and supercapacitors based on graphene) and produced on a massive and global scale.

    Volume Three: Electrical and Optical Properties

    Volume Four: Mechanical and Chemical Properties

    Volume Five: Size-Dependent Properties

    Volume Six: Applications and Industrialization

    This handbook describes the fabrication methods of graphene; the nanostructure and atomic arrangement of graphene; graphene’s electrical and optical properties; the mechanical and chemical properties of graphene; the size effects in graphene, characterization, and applications based on size-affected properties; and the application and industrialization of graphene.

    Volume two is dedicated to nanostructure and atomic arrangement and covers:

    • The potential applications of graphene heterostructures, particularly, graphene/h-BN heterostructures
    • Atomic-scale defects in graphene and the huge impact they have on its low-energy electronic structure
