Graphene: Synthesis and Applications in Biotechnology - A Review

Graphene has emerged as an exotic material of the 21st century, and received world-wide attention due to its exceptional charge transport, thermal, optical, and mechanical properties. However, the severe chemical conditions required to prepare graphene from naturally occurring graphite has become the biggest limiting factor for high scale graphene production and commercialization. Many bioapplications have been proposed for this material. In this review various synthesis processes of single layer graphene are reviewed and selectively current advances in the field of graphene bioapplications are analyzed.
