INTRODUCTION
BULB: THE ILLUMINATION REVELUTION
October 21,1879 life of men changed with an innovation invention.At Melno Park,New Jersey Edison invented electric light bulb.From the day bulb has taken new forms.Graphene light bulb: Most modern product of technology.
‘Graphene’ was first isolated in the lab by Professor Andre Geim with former student Konstantin Novoselov at the University of Manchester, England in 2004
Konstantin Novoselow and Andre Geim were awarded the 2010 Nobel Prize for physics.
HISTORY
GRAPHENE : GRAPHITE+ENE
•British-Dutch physicist Andre Geim defines " graphene is a single atomic plane of graphite, which is sufficiently isolated from environment to be free standing ".•Graphene can be described as a one-atom thick layer of graphite.•It is the basic structural element of other allotropes, including graphite, charcoal, carbon nanotubes and fullerenes.
STRUCTURE• A crystalline allotrope of
carbon.• 2 Dimensional structure
in atomic scale.• These carbon atoms are
bound within the plane by strong bonds into a honeycomb array comprised of six-membered rings.
• By stacking of these layers on top of each other, the well known 3-dimensional graphite crystal is formed.
• It is a basic building block for graphitic materials of all other dimensionalities.
• It can be wrapped up into 0D fullerenes, rolled into 1D nanotubes or stacked into 3D graphite.
• Thus, graphene is nothing else than a single graphite layer.
Graphene is a 2D crystal of carbon atoms, arranged in a honeycomb lattice
Each carbon atom is sp2 hybridized and it is bound to its three neighbors.
• Thinness material.• Strongest.• Electrically Conductive.• Flexible & Stretchable.• Transparent.
• Elastic.• Stiff.• Harder than diamond and steel
etc.
SALIENT FEATURES OF GRAPHENE
THERMAL PROPERTIES
• Graphene is a perfect thermal conductor• Its thermal conductivity is much higher than all the other
carbon structures as carbon nanotubes, graphite and diamond at room temperature and better by far than brilliant heat conductors such as silver and copper
• Graphite, the 3 D version of Graphene, shows a thermal conductivity about 5 times smaller
ANOMALOUS GRAPHENE
•At high temperatures graphene becomes a poor conductor "Umklapp scattering".•Temperatures confine to a hot spot at center.•Electron temperature is higher than of acoustic vibrational mode of graphene lattice, so less energy is needed to attain temperature for visible light emission.
•Single layer GRAPHENE is made as the filament of the bulb.
GRAPHENE LIGHT BULB
•GRAPHENE is attached to metal electrodes, current allowed to flow, filament heats up, at about 2500 degrees Celsius light of visible range is produced.
WORKING
•Graphene is freely suspended and is electrically biased.•A clean Graphene channel is established using current induced annealing method.•At high temperature (~2800 K) hot electrons get spacially localized at center of suspended Graphene.•The suspended Graphene channel begin to emit visible light at the center once the voltage exceeds threshold value.

APPLICATIONS
CHALLENGES TO UNLOCK
• Single sheet of graphene is hard to produce.
• Production of Graphene is highly costly.• The new fabrication & manufacturing
methods of Graphene has to be evolved used in electronic device .
DISADVANTAGE
•The main disadvantage of graphene as a catalyst is its susceptibility to oxidative environments.•Research has proven that graphene exhibits some toxic qualities.•Scientists discovered that graphene features jagged edges that can easily pierce cell membranes, allowing it to enter into the cell and disrupt normal functions.
