Graphene

Graphene is a one-atom-thick planar sheet of sp2-bonded carbon atoms that are densely packed in a honeycomb crystal lattice. It is the strongest known material. It can be viewed as an atomic-scale chicken wire made of carbon atoms and their bonds. The name comes from GRAPHITE + -ENE; graphite itself consists of many graphene sheets stacked together.

Single sheet of trigonally bonded (sp2) carbon atoms in a hexagonal structure.

Individual layers of carbon atoms arranged in a honeycomb-like lattice, found in graphite, a crystalline form of carbon
