STUDY OF MANUFACTURING METHODS, INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS AND SCOPE OF RESEARCH OF GRAPHENE

Graphene, a single atomic layer of carbon atoms arranged in a two-dimensionalhoneycomb lattice, has emerged as one of the most revolutionary materials of modernscience. Its exceptional electrical conductivity, mechanical strength, flexibility, andoptical transparency have driven research across multiple disciplines. This paper providesa detailed overview of the major graphene manufacturing methods, highlights itsstructural significance, and explores its broad industrial applications. A comparativeanalysis of synthesis techniques, their scalability, and potential integration into industrialsystems is discussed. Furthermore, the paper emphasizes the expanding scope ofgraphene research, with a focus on the Indian and global innovation ecosystem drivinggraphene-based technologies.
