Conjugated carbon monolayer membranes: methods for synthesis and integration

Adv Mater. 2010 Mar 12;22(10):1072-7. doi: 10.1002/adma.200904095.

Abstract

Monolayer membranes of conjugated carbon represent a class of nanomaterial with demonstrated uses in various areas of electronics, ranging from transparent, flexible, and stretchable thin film conductors, to semiconducting materials in moderate and high-performance field-effect transistors. Although graphene represents the most prominent example, many other more structurally and chemically diverse systems are also of interest. This article provides a review of demonstrated synthetic and integration strategies, and speculates on future directions for the field.
