description Nano-carbon materials have become of great interest as the central issue of nanotechnology in chemistry, and electronic device applications right after the discovery of fullerenes and carbon nanotubes. Graphene, which is known as a single sheet of graphite, is categorized as nano carbon-based materials. Within these materials, the p-orbitals are confined in a unique geometrical structure, built using benzene hexagonal rings as basic blocks, this unique geometrical structure has an important role in contributing to a large variety of electronic structures. Also, carbon nanotube’s electronic structures vary from a semiconductor to metal based on factors like their chirality and diameter. Graphene is a two-dimensional material with a bonded lattice of sp2 carbon atoms. Graphene forms the basic building block of carbon nanomaterials, such as one-dimensional carbon nanotubes as well as zero-dimensional fullerenes.
