These nanostructures of 1D, such as nanowires, nanotubes and nanorods, present great potential for enhancing photon absorption, electron transit, and electron collection in solar cells. Graphene is a 2D hexagonal lattice of carbon atoms that is atomically thin. The remarkable mechanical properties of graphene are due to its structure, in which each carbon atom shares three of its four electrons in covalent bonds with its nearest neighbours (sp2 bonds). ...The remarkable mechanical properties of graphene are due to its structure, in which each carbon atom shares three of its four electrons in covalent bonds with its nearest neighbours (sp2 bonds). ...At the same time, the remaining fourth electrons are delocalized across the two-dimensional lattice in an orbital that accounts for the majority of the material’s optoelectronic capabilities. Also, Graphene is noted for having mobility that exceeds that of good metals.

The past few decades have seen an explosive increase in our ability to create nanostructures and nanosystems with a great degree of control, using a diversity of techniques. This ability has been accompanied by a similar enhancement in our ability to characterize structures and systems at the nanoscale. Nanotechnology: A Crash Course provides a broad overview of those nanostructures and nanosystems (together termed "Nanotechnology"). It covers structural characteristics and properties of nanostructures, nanofabrication techniques, methods for characterizing nanostructures, and applications for nanomaterials. The book also provides a thought-provoking assessment of the possible implications of nanotechnology in society, and likely future trends.
