(Phys.org)—Single sheets of graphene, a curious material only 1 atom thick, are 100 times more chemically reactive than double or triple sheets, Stanford scientists say in a new paper published online Jan. 17 in ACS Nano. Understanding graphene's chemical reactivity, they say, is key to putting this unique material to work.
