Graphene is just a single layer of graphite, which consists of
carbon
atoms arranged into
flat
hexagons.
Each carbon has
one
delocalised electron, so graphene can
conduct
electricity.
Graphene can be found naturally within graphite.
The sheets can be folded into two types of 3D structure:
tubes
and
spheres
, which are known as fullerenes.
Fullerenes are allotropes of
carbon
, made by
bending sheets
of graphene into hollow structures.
Nanotubes
made from these are useful in electronics. This is because each
carbon
atom has one delocalised electron which can carry charge.
two applications of fullerenes in industry
catalyst
in chemical reactions
delivery
of medicines around the body
fullerenes are useful
catalyst
in chemical industry because they have
high
surface area to volume ratio
what is the formula for buckminster fullerene?
C60
carbon
nanotubes
make them useful for
tennis racket
frames because they have high strength to weight ratio.
