Graphene
Graphene is a semi-metal with a small overlap between the valence and the conduction bands (zero bandgap material). It is an allotrope (form) of carbon consisting of a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice. It is the basic structural element of many other allotropes of carbon, such as graphite, diamond, charcoal, carbon nanotubes and fullerenes.
Harvesting the Sun's virtually limitless supply of energy is an incredibly sustainable way to reduce dependence on combustion of fossil fuels. Novel technologies developed with EU funding promise to enhance widespread market uptake.
