Graphene’s thermal properties may not be as revolutionary as previously thought.

Nov 28, 2023

(Nanowerk News) Graphene, a material which consists of a single layer of carbon atoms, has been celebrated by many as the “next big thing” in material science. But according to Purdue University researchers, its thermal properties may not be as revolutionary as previously thought.

Key Takeaways

  • Graphene’s thermal conductivity may not be as high as previously estimated, potentially less than that of diamond.
  • Recent studies incorporate a four-phonon scattering theory, providing a more refined understanding of heat transfer in graphene.
  • This new approach to…
